Looking for a GP by AishaSri
I'm looking for a female GP. She should have a good command of English and be located in the vicinity of Nasr City. If you know a good male GP please also respond.
A GP (or a family physician) has a very vital role in the medical corps. But unfortunately since people stopped using primary care units in egypt, this culture faded. I really wish that there are enough people (foreingers or not) who can appreciate ... Read More

Life for women expats in Egypt by pega
I am considering moving to Egypt to work. However, information I find about the daily life for women is absolutely terrifying. I am wondering if the harassment/groping of women is a 'fact of life' in Egypt. That's how it sounds but I ...
Pega, bottom line, it HUGELY depends on where are you staying, and what type of egyptian communities you are dealing with, which mainly depends on your location. My SOLID advice to you, is that you have to study very well the areas you will ... Read More

Hello Kristy :) I am a gynaecologist myself. I checked the list of recommended gynaecologists on the site and i think it's deficient. If i'd recommend someone for you, it'd be Dr. Amr Hussien El Noury. He is an FRCOG, and the chairman ... Read More
Looking for a GP by AishaSri
I'm looking for a female GP. She should have a good command of English and be located in the vicinity of Nasr City. If you know a good male GP please also respond.
The concept of GP is only present in the primary care units in suburbs and smaller cities and villages, and they are only fresh grads, not senior GP's, as in egypt this phase ends after 2 years when the doctors get recruited in a masters ... Read More

Exchange program BENHA, EGYPT by ErikOvalle
Hello you guys! I'm Erik from Mexico, I would like to get to know people who are currently living in Egypt, specifically near Benha which is the place where I'm going to be living for a month, I'm a 10th semester student in med school ...
Use USD for sure. No you don't "pay" with dollars, you come to egypt with dollars only, and exchange them for egyptian pounds. Benha is not a big city like cairo, but not a small one either. I doubt you'd find a place which would ... Read More

Missmash, Th problem with the general egyptian conduct is that you may find a worker, landlord or whatever, willing to rip off some people but not others. I don't know anyone in rehab but i will ask for you. Read More

Healthcare in Egypt by Julien
Hi, how does the healthcare system work in Egypt ? Is it efficient ? What are the main differences between public and private sectors? Is it recommended to purchase private health insurance in Egypt? Thanks in advance for sharing your ...
rrikkipoo Fortunately, the healthcare system in hurghada and in sharm el sheikh is much better than most of egypt. This is because it has a big community of expats and tourists and there is not room for mistakes. Granted, individually, most ... Read More

Rob, before moving, you just need to know if what you know about Cairo is in fact real or not, and whether it's worth leaving you current state or not? So... what the hell makes you think cairo is better lol? Read More

Oh sorry i thought you were living in cairo, and got into comparison. I believe that 7000 EGP per month would be very sufficient and more than enough for 2 people. That's roughly £600. But the healthcare system is expensive for ... Read More
