Cairo: The State Information Service (SIS) has officially addressed inaccurate reports published by the British newspapers The Sun and The Mirror concerning the treatment of a British national at Sharm El Sheikh International Hospital in September 2025. The SIS's response is part of its mandate to monitor foreign media coverage of Egypt and rectify inaccuracies in collaboration with pertinent national authorities.

According to State Information Service Egypt, the SIS Chairman, Ambassador Alaa Youssef, sent letters to the editors-in-chief of both publications, expressing surprise that the incident was reported again nearly a year after it occurred. The letters outlined facts based on official records from the Egypt Healthcare Authority (EHA), affirming that the reports were false.

The hospital records clarified that the British national did not undergo any surgical procedures or receive medical treatment at Sharm El Sheikh International Hospital, with her only interaction being a CT scan requested by another medical provider. She was not examined in the emergency or general surgery departments, nor was she admitted to the hospital. Moreover, no formal complaints, requests for fee reimbursement, or reviews of services were made by her or any representative.

Ambassador Youssef emphasized in his correspondence that the claims made in both reports lacked support from documented facts or official records. He urged both newspapers to publish the SIS's response in full, adhering to professional standards and journalistic ethics to ensure accurate public information.
