CAIRO — Egypt’s General Authority for Health Care agreed in early August to establish a virtual hospital linked to mobile clinics to serve Bedouin communities in South Sinai and ensure the health care needs of governorate residents are met.
In a Aug. 4 statement, the authority said, “South Sinai is the sixth largest governorate in Egypt. It is a desert environment where mobility is difficult. The places where medical services are provided are scattered due to the geography of the governorate, which also has shortage of manpower and a scarcity of some medical specialists.”
