Former deputy prime minister Ziad Bahaa Eldin pointed to how difficult the current legislative framework makes it for an investor who is not a physician or medical practitioner to invest in the industry, which is discouraging some investors at a time when the sector needs to be attractive.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Another major hurdle for the industry? Slim profit margins<\/strong>, said EFG Hermes\u2019 Private Equity Managing Director, Samer Yassa. Private sector investors in the healthcare industry are after a 20% profit margin, but the average margin in Egypt runs at around 18%, he noted, which discourages some from incurring the risk of fresh investments. Egypt\u2019s private healthcare providers had <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/b7a9880d-7b0c-47c4-a7a8-6fb66c954e1a\">complained last month<\/a> that a mandatory pricing scheme the Health Ministry had set out for covid-19 treatment across hospitals would cause them to run at a loss. The ministry eventually <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/72b23cfd-007a-45fb-bee1-6263805e1954\">agreed to raise<\/a> the prices by 20%.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The pandemic has shifted investment priorities, including a move towards providing medical services virtually<\/strong>, Cleopatra Hospitals Group CEO Ahmed Ezzeldine said. This shift entails more than just connecting virtually with a physician, he noted: Investments are piling in to better handle and organize big data, and otherwise provide complementary services and infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p><strong>There is no need to fear mergers:<\/strong> Participants called on the government to encourage the integration of companies in the health care sector to open the door to more sector-specific investments. \"There is a fear of the emergence of conglomerates in the health sector,\u201d said Sameh Gabra, head of the investment at Samcrete. \u201cWe must encourage integration and direct investment and not be afraid to acquire a number of beds,\" he said, pointing out that the number of beds in private hospitals is small compared to the total number in the country.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A second wave of covid-19 cases is all but certain \u2014 but we\u2019ll be better prepared when it hits<\/strong>, considering the country\u2019s health infrastructure has improved significantly over the past four months and is now equipped to handle cases, Ezzeldin said. According to Ezzeldin, presidential health adviser, Mohamed Awad Tag Eldin, and head of the Health Ministry\u2019s covid-19 committee, Hossam Hosny, have suggested that the second wave could also be less infectious.<\/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

consciousness is a classic idea that we can only lend attention to bits and pieces of reality based on importance at any given moment. This type of attention has been thought to be consistent, leading many to think that when they decide something is important, they can be fully in tune with it. Scientists from Princeton University and the University of California, however, have shown that this isn\u2019t the case after finding that our brains attempt to refocus attention four times in a single second, speaking much to our distractibility, explains this Bloomberg video (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/videos\/2020-06-03\/why-you-can-t-fight-distraction-video?sref=mmeFTDW1\">watch, runtime: 8:20<\/a>).<\/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\/education\/\">Education<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/science\/\">science<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/worth-watching\/\">worth watching<\/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=\"573017\" 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=\"573017\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">6<\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <p class=\"f-graphik\">Diplomacy + Foreign Trade<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2020\/07\/16\/defense-minister-meets-with-us-centcom-chief-to-discuss-ties\/\">\r\n                            Defense minister meets with US Centcom chief to discuss ties                        <\/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\/07\/16\/defense-minister-meets-with-us-centcom-chief-to-discuss-ties\/\" 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();

This is a slight reduction from the EGP 80 mn the company <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/38994393-3eb2-4c83-b78c-e7622c776a3a\">was said in January<\/a> to be investing during the second half of the year.<\/p>\n<p>The expansion will be self-financed, but Farouk says the company has also been approached by outside investors. The supermarket chain has seen a 46% y-o-y jump in sales during 1H2020 thanks to the pandemic and a turnaround strategy implemented earlier this year, Farouk says.<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content

In my family, I am the member with the fewest degrees \u2014 I hold a BA, while my wife and one of my daughters have each earned a PhD and my other daughter earned her MA here at AUC.<\/p>\n<p><strong>My day usually begins by 7am, but the exact time depends on when I get to bed because I\u2019m making a more conscious effort to get a solid seven hours of sleep. <\/strong>With everything happening now, I\u2019m beginning to place a lot more emphasis on my physical health. I start my day with a quick peek at my email but I don\u2019t let myself get sucked into that vortex at this point in the day, and then move on to get at least 30 minutes of physical activity; I usually speed-walk between 3 and 6 km in the morning. Then, I like to have a light breakfast and some coffee and get the day rolling.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Enterprise is one of the emails I read early on in the day.<\/strong> My staff knows that in the early morning, I\u2019ll usually forward stories and clips from Enterprise that are of interest to different people. Back when I was US Ambassador to Egypt in the early 2000s, we had our own internal system to keep on top of the news and local media, so Enterprise serves the same purpose to me now, with a much higher degree of curation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Once I get the emails out of the way, my day is usually filled with meetings.<\/strong> Most of these are on Zoom, but every once in a while my staff and I have physical meetings on campus, which is a great place to do that while safely adhering to social distancing and precautionary measures. We have plenty of outdoor spaces on campus, and we have access to conference rooms designed for large gatherings that can now be used for smaller meetings to ensure social distancing. A lot of our conversations now are centered on preparing for what\u2019s next. We were able to move our spring semester classes online after five or six weeks of in-person instruction, and now we\u2019re considering what our fall semester will look like. All we know now is that it\u2019s going to be between 0 and 100% of regular physical interaction \u2014 but there\u2019s no telling where we\u2019ll fall in that range.<\/p>\n<p><strong>As much as we appreciate how far technology has come, there\u2019s something to be said about the organic and spontaneous interactions<\/strong> that happen when you\u2019re physically in the same space as others. I\u2019m also nostalgic for the massive amount of student activity that always kept the AUC campus vibrant and active everyday. The president\u2019s residence, Watson House, being on campus afforded me access to student-led activities on campus, such as charitable events, hosting weddings for orphans, organizing conferences and talks, and all the concerts that happened on campus. These all gave me a chance to talk and interact with our student body.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I have a lot of books in my TBR pile, and a lot of them are about Egypt and Cairo<\/strong>, which is one of my preferred ways of learning about them. The most recent addition to the list is <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3gHQopv\">Awlad El Nass<\/a>, which is the latest book by Reem Bassiouney, one of our professors at the Department of Applied Linguistics here at AUC. I can read Arabic, but it does take me a bit more effort and the help of a dictionary at times, and this is a book I intend to read soon. Some of my other favorites include Yuval Noah Harari\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ynharari.com\/book\/sapiens\/\">Sapiens<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ynharari.com\/book\/homo-deus\/\">Homo Deus<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/auc100.aucegypt.edu\/about\/book\/\">AUC\u2019s centennial book<\/a>, which I like to flip through sometimes for interesting and quick stories about the university.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Once life goes back to some semblance of normalcy, the one thing I look forward to going back to most is in-person human interaction<\/strong> \u2014 and being able to hop on a plane to see my daughter in Jordan and the rest of my family in the US.<\/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\/auc\/\">AUC<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/education\/\">Education<\/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                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div> <!-- \/.story -->\r\n    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"573029\" 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=\"573029\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">15<\/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\/07\/16\/the-market-yesterday-130\/\">\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\/07\/16\/the-market-yesterday-130\/\" 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();
