LEGISLATION WATCH- Prime Minister Sherif Ismail issued the executive regulations of the Universal Healthcare Act on Tuesday, according to a cabinet statement. The statement did not provide the final draft of the regs, but copies leaked by Al Ahram last month show that focus on the roles, jurisdictions and functions of the new healthcare regulators and how the system itself would be operated.

What we haven’t seen from the leaks is a clearly defined role for the private sector mapped out. Vice Minister of Finance Mohamed Maait had said that the role of the private sector would be clarified in the executive regulations.
