As a foreigner living in Alexandria, will I have access to public healthcare? What is it like?

Answer this Question

We asked expats in Alexandria if they have access to public healthcare in Alexandria. And, if they do have access, what is it like. They wrote...

"As a foreigner living in Alexandria, you will have access to public healthcare. However, the public healthcare system in Egypt is known to be overcrowded and underfunded, which may result in long waiting times and limited availability of specialized treatments. The quality of care in public hospitals can vary, and the facilities may not be up to the standards you are used to in your home country. Many expats and foreigners choose to use private healthcare facilities, which offer better quality care and more modern equipment, but at a higher cost. It is recommended to have comprehensive health insurance to cover any medical expenses while living in Alexandria," commented one expat who made the move to Alexandria, Egypt.
