The decision comes after some providers had allegedly been \u201covercharging\u201d patients for services, the statement says. It also follows <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/2XLy9r9\">an increasing number of calls<\/a> from MPs to regulate pricing at private hospitals.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Prices will be decided within the week:<\/strong> Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly ordered a \u201cspecialized committee\u201d to draw up a pricing scheme, which will be made public within days, Cabinet spokesman Nader Saad said yesterday (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=T3J4bhXMg8I\">watch, runtime: 8:05<\/a>), adding that all hospitals will have to abide the controls.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The legal basis: <\/strong>The Consumer Protection Act, which President Abdel Fattah El Sisi <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2018\/09\/17\/el-sisi-signs-amendments-to-consumer-protection-act-into-law\/\">ratified in<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2018\/09\/17\/el-sisi-signs-amendments-to-consumer-protection-act-into-law\/\">2018<\/a>, sets a legal framework through which the government can impose price controls.

Those facilities hit the 17% capacity figure after just 10 days, Saad said, noting that they are only admitting the most severe cases and encouraging patients with mild symptoms to self-isolate and ride out the illness at home in a bid to ensure there is sufficient hospital capacity for those who need it most.<\/p>\n<p><strong>With rising infection numbers, health officials are now allowing the private sector to treat <\/strong><strong>cases<\/strong>, having first limited treatment to a single facility in Matrouh. The Health Ministry then announced a list of 20 state-run isolation and treatment facilities before adding university hospitals to the list, then another 320 state-run facilities. <strong>In total, there are 367 state facilities now authorized to treat covid patients. <\/strong>All are now permitted to accept covid cases. The expansion of where covid patients can seek treatment came after officials <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/2144813e-f2d1-4447-a9c5-88ca0a6b43ba\">said<\/a> earlier in May that the country\u2019s isolation hospitals had reached full capacity, prompting the ministry to look at alternatives such as using hotels to add capacity.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The ministry hasn\u2019t publicly said how many private sector hospitals or beds are available <\/strong><strong>to treat covid patients<\/strong>, but Alameda Healthcare CEO Neeraj Mishra (who oversees facilities including As-Salam International and Dar Al Fouad) <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/8ca2e4f4-7b30-4729-9768-8cef8f27f022\">told us in April<\/a> that <strong>all private-sector operators had been told to prepare isolation wards<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The price controls are, in concept, the right thing<\/strong>, but regulators will need to strike a careful balance between their inner Nasserist (everything without charge, all the time) and the simple reality that treating very sick covid patients is very expensive \u2014 and puts pressure on the hospital P&Ls in other departments thanks to lower revenues and resource drain to focus on covid treatment.<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n    <div class=\"tags-section\">\n        <div class=\"f-graphik\">Tags:<\/div>\n        <div class=\"tags-list\">\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/covid-19\/\">covid-19<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/healthcare\/\">healthcare<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/regulation\/\">regulation<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/speed-round\/\">SPEED ROUND<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div> <!-- \/.story -->\r\n    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"571817\" class=\"issue-section \">\n<div class=\"issue-section__content\">\n<div class=\"stories\">    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"571818\" class=\"issue-section \">\n<div class=\"issue-section__content\">\n<div class=\"stories\">            <!-- Show divider before story section -->\r\n        <div \r\n            class=\"\r\n                story-section            \"\r\n            id=\"571818\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">4<\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <p class=\"f-graphik\">Image of the Day<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2020\/06\/01\/how-the-41-countries-relaxing-lockdown-restrictions-are-faring\/\">\r\n                            How the 41 countries relaxing lockdown restrictions are faring                        <\/a>\r\n                    <\/h3>\r\n\r\n                    \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\n<div class=\"cta\">\n    <div class=\"cta__btn share-dropdown-cta dropdown-toggle-btn\" style=\"position:relative\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/internal\/408834.svg\" alt=\"\">\n        Share Story\n        <!-- Dropdown Menu -->\n        <ul class=\"share-menu\">\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2020\/06\/01\/how-the-41-countries-relaxing-lockdown-restrictions-are-faring\/\" target=\"_blank\">\n                    Open in new tab                    <!-- <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"assets\/media\/placeholder\/svg\/new-tab.svg\" alt=\"\"> -->\n                <\/a>\n            <\/li>\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault();
