industry lobbyist claims private healthcare providers are objecting to <\/strong><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/734f1ee9-fded-4641-88ef-6fec7a4ca806\">price caps<\/a><\/strong><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/734f1ee9-fded-4641-88ef-6fec7a4ca806\">the Health Ministry imposed<\/a><\/strong> earlier this week on covid-19 treatment, saying that the pricing scheme doesn\u2019t match the cost of providing treatment. Khaled Samir, a member of the Federation of Egyptian Industries\u2019 healthcare division, told Al Tase\u2019a Masa\u2019an\u2019s Wael Ebrashy that <strong>healthcare providers want to sit down with Health Minister Hala Zayed to reach a compromise<\/strong> on a pricing scheme that would allow them to provide treatment to patients without running at a loss, Samir said (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ybjn9jRzHSY\">watch, runtime: 7:59<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Private hospitals want the ministry to set a three-tier pricing scheme<\/strong> that accounts for both the type of service and the quality of the hospital, and are due to meet next week to discuss the issue, the <a href=\"https:\/\/alborsaanews.com\/2020\/06\/03\/1353577\">local press<\/a> reports, citing an unnamed source from the division.

Speaking to us this week is Khalil Abdel Khalik, co-founder and CEO of <a href=\"https:\/\/tabibi247.com\/\">Tabibi 24\/7<\/a>, a homegrown primary healthcare practice that offers an integrated family healthcare system.<\/p>\n<p><strong>My name is Khalil Abdel Khalek and I\u2019m what I call a \u201cdocpreneur\u201d<\/strong> \u2014 a doctor-entrepreneur. I\u2019m married to a beautiful psychologist, Mariam, and blessed with two great kids: Mohamed, 19, and Amina, 17. I run Tabibi, which provides help and healthcare to people and companies, whether at clinics, their workplace, or their homes. We have a team of around 75 full-time employees.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Since we\u2019ve moved to working from home, I\u2019ve tried to bring as much structure as possible to my daily routine.<\/strong> The first two weeks were quite different, but I\u2019ve settled into a routine now. Once I wake up, I change my clothes and start my day with a bit of meditation, then read Enterprise with coffee and music \u2014 the earlier, the better. I used to get my day started with some physical activity at the club or in an outdoor space, but that\u2019s no longer an option. I\u2019ve set up designated areas within my home for the different parts of my routine \u2014 there\u2019s a workspace, an area for my meditation and exercise, and a space for my breaks and time off. I stick to a specific schedule with my breaks as much as possible, but I have to allow a certain degree of flexibility to accommodate issues as they come up at work.<\/p>\n<p><strong>It\u2019s tough to list what my job entails because there\u2019s a lot that goes into it, and what it was pre-covid is very different<\/strong> from what it is now with the pandemic (also known as DC, or During Covid). The biggest challenge we\u2019ve faced \u2014 which applies to the healthcare sector as a whole \u2014 is adapting to provide our services in a nonphysical way. We\u2019ve shifted a lot of our services to the virtual space and it\u2019s working for now, but I don\u2019t see it as a viable long-term replacement for physically seeing patients.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The silver lining is that we\u2019ve been able to lean more on having multidisciplinary teams managing our patient cases<\/strong>, because it\u2019s easier to have a team of doctors with different specialties coordinating with each other online rather than having to meet in person to look over a case.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A major concern in the industry is that there\u2019s currently a lot of unmanaged chronic cases<\/strong> because people are too afraid to visit clinics during the pandemic, and that we\u2019re going to see a wave of these cases once we come out of lockdown. So we\u2019re trying to accommodate these patients through Tabibi Telehealth services now to get ahead of the problem. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Running the business was a lot easier to move online<\/strong>; we don\u2019t need to meet in person to manage the team and, if anything, we talk more as a staff and management team now than we did before. We have a daily virtual huddle for the whole team, and then we have what we\u2019ve dubbed the Four at Four meeting every afternoon. That\u2019s when the four managers all hop on a call to talk about whatever we need to.<\/p>\n<p><strong>At the beginning of the lockdown period, I began reading <\/strong><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Mans-Search-Meaning-Viktor-Frankl\/dp\/080701429X\">Man\u2019s Search For Meaning<\/a><\/strong>, which in hindsight may not have been the best choice with everything happening, but it helped me think a lot about a long-term perspective for my business and industry. Now, I\u2019m reading <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Infinite-Game-Simon-Sinek\/dp\/073521350X\">The Infinite Game<\/a>. It\u2019s a great book, especially because I\u2019m in an infinite business: There will always be a need for healthcare.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Starting a business in Egypt and growing it requires you to wear different hats everyday<\/strong>, and the biggest challenge I\u2019ve faced is finding a balance between the roles. What helps me is staying organized and relying heavily on a calendar. I log everything \u2014 even something as small as a quick call \u2014 on my calendar. And equally important is knowing when to take a step back and stop working; it\u2019s critical to set time boundaries for your workday and I\u2019ve learned that slowing down sometimes and really reflecting on everything is the best thing you can do for yourself and your business.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Once all of this ends, I\u2019m looking forward to spending more time in nature.<\/strong> It\u2019s already a little difficult to connect with nature when you live in a city like Cairo, and I think we all have a little bit of a Vitamin N deficiency \u2014 N being nature.<\/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\/healthcare\/\">healthcare<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/my-morning-routine\/\">MY MORNING ROUTINE<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/work-from-home\/\">Work from home<\/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=\"571932\" 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=\"571932\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">9<\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <p class=\"f-graphik\">The Market Yesterday<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2020\/06\/04\/the-market-yesterday-102\/\">\r\n                            The Market Yesterday                        <\/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\/04\/the-market-yesterday-102\/\" 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();
