"… e-health programs to bring better diagnostic and health services to a wider segment of the Egyptian society"

Egypt’s ICT Strategy

The Government of Egypt and its Ministry of Health have established several e-Health programs to bring better diagnostic and health services to a wider segment of the Egyptian society. MCIT has facilitated the integration of ICT in health services and the provision of medical education to remote or underserved areas of Egypt. The e-health initiative is inspired by pursuing equal opportunities for health services anywhere in Egypt, and expanding medical insurance to all citizens.

MCIT was instrumental in introducing e-government in Egypt and extending ICT into public services. As a general mandate, MCIT supports other ministries in facilitating e-Government programs and services as part of the Egyptian Information Society Initiative (EISI).

This initiative aims to enhance the competitiveness of the Egyptian e-content industry by supporting the production, use and distribution of Arabic digital content on global networks.
