A qualitative study of the government’s implementation of the Universal Health Coverage in Egypt: stakeholders’ perspective
Egypt's UHC reforms demonstrate the potential to transform health outcomes, aligning with goals of equity and financial sustainability. The study's findings provide specific policy recommendations and implications, highlighting the need to focus on the financial sustainability of the system, reform governance and prioritize public awareness for effective execution. Lessons from the Egyptian experience, particularly the phased rollout, serve as valuable insights for other countries. Maintaining momentum requires adaptive strategies integrating global best practices to ensure UHC's long-term success.
