- Background
In December 2017, Egypt passed a Universal Health Insurance (UHI) law to accelerate progress towards Universal Health Coverage (UHC). The new UHI law is regarded as a comprehensive “Health Act” that entails major health sector transformation with fundamental institutional, functional, and regulatory restructuring separating financing from provision of health services.
As stipulated in the law, a new “Universal Health Insurance Agency (UHIA)” has been established to serve as the “purchaser” of health services, a “Egyptian Healthcare Authority (EHA)” established as the public “provider” of health services and, a “General Authority for Healthcare Accreditation and Regulation (GAHAR)” established as the “accreditor and technical regulator”. This has consequently led to substantial change in the mandates, authorities, responsibilities, and governance framework of the ministry of health and population as well. According to the new aw, insurance coverage for all Egyptians will be rolled-out all over the country in 6 phases over 10-years period. WHO is very keen that the ambitious project will be working towards achieving the health pillar of the sustainable development goals.
