Health Minister Ahmed Rady denied that the government is looking to have the private sector manage the full-service “Takamol” hospitals, according to Al Mal. Rady’s comments are at odds with a cabinet decision last week to allow the private sector to bid to manage as many as 48 Takamol hospitals. Rady said the goal from having Takamol hospitals nationwide is to improve the provision of healthcare in rural areas, but they have not been completed adequately. He added that the ministry is looking to offer some of the Takamol facilities to charity organizations.
