What are emergency services like in Egypt?
When we asked members about emergency services in Egypt, they wrote...
"Emergency services in Egypt are generally reliable and efficient. In the event of an emergency, the best way to call for an ambulance is to dial the national emergency number, 112. This number is toll-free and can be dialed from any phone, including landlines and mobile phones. The operator will then dispatch an ambulance to the location of the emergency," commented one expat who made the move to Egypt.

"I only use private hospitals and in general they are fine. The one closest to me has a good ER that I've used on occasion. I have had operations in Egypt. I've been in one ICU once, and I've survived them all. I don't live in America. I don't have insurance. The cost of all of this is extremely affordable. You have to sacrifice in some areas to afford it as well as it is here," remarked another expat in Cairo, Egypt.
