Egypt tried over the past seven years to find unconventional solutions to the health mechanism and took steps to draft a strategy to develop it, the higher education minister said.

The strategy includes many aspects, including infrastructure, medical teams and health services, Abdel Ghaffar said.

About 300 percent of State budgets over the past seven years were spent on developing infrastructure in the health sector, citing IMF institution’s applause of the huge investments poured in the health sector in Egypt.

There is no governorate in Egypt that did not see infrastructure projects in the health sector, he said, adding that more than 55 billion pounds were allocated to implement these projects over the past few years.
