Description
Moaz Elsayed Abouelmagd and co-authors project Egypt's health spending and payment mix from 1995 to 2050 in a 2026 study. Egyptians pay over half of health costs straight from their pockets, and the study asks whether a 2018 insurance law can bend that pattern toward the country's 2030 protection goals.
Total spending rose from 7.37 billion dollars in 1995 to 20.71 billion in 2021, with pocket payments easing only from 62.1 percent to 54.6 percent of the total. Projections see spending reach 52.04 billion by 2050, with government share sliding and prepaid private plans climbing fastest. Without corrective policy, the authors warn, private prepayment may ease pocket pain while weakening fairness.
