Gov’t sets prices for public health services in Port Said under the Universal Healthcare Act

The Health Ministry has completed pricing some 3,600 services and products for public hospitals and facilities in Port Said under the new healthcare regime set out by the Universal Healthcare Act, ministry officials said on Wednesday. The move presages the implementation of the new system, which will be piloted in Port Said at the start of the next fiscal year. It is likely that these prices will be used as the base point for setting fees for private healthcare under the new system. The executive regulations of the law, which should be issued in the coming few months, will set out prices for private healthcare under the Universal Healthcare Act, which will be determined by new government regulators.
