Brief Explanation

Rationale Healthcare in Egypt has always been a great problematic issue. Egypt faces multiple health challenges in the form of insufficient financial resources or inefficient use of already existing funds, limited institutional capacity and infrastructure, discrimination in availability of services especially in rural areas and Upper Egypt. Concept In Upper Egypt, there is a lack of hospitals specifically hospitals for cardiology and heart surgery. In Asyout, if a patient suffers from a heart attack, he will have to drive almost three hundred kilometers to able to get into a hospital. This is a substantial issue due to the fact that many patients die on their way to the hospitals.
