Amr Aed, Assistant Minister of Health and Population for Information Systems and Digital Transformation, and Sherif Mostafa, Assistant Minister for National Projects, held a meeting on Tuesday, July 14, 2026. During the negotiations, they discussed the progress of digital transformation projects in the healthcare sector with representatives from Orange and STM.
Hossam Abdel Ghaffar, a representative of the Ministry of Health, reported that the meeting reviewed ways to strengthen cooperation for developing Egypt's digital healthcare system. This development must align with the state's digital transformation strategy and contribute to improving the quality and efficiency of medical services.
The meeting analyzed the latest progress of current initiatives aimed at creating a unified digital healthcare system. Such a system should ensure secure and efficient exchange of medical information, which will help improve service delivery, accelerate and increase the accuracy of clinical decision-making, and enhance patient experience.
Abdel Ghaffar also noted that the discussion included expanding the use of advanced technological solutions and artificial intelligence to support medical care. This will allow for optimizing resource management, increasing operational efficiency, and improving the quality of services provided.
He emphasized that plans are being developed to advance digital healthcare through the implementation of a unified electronic medical record for every patient. This record will contain medical history and health data, facilitating information exchange among healthcare professionals and increasing the speed and accuracy of diagnosis and treatment. Attention was also drawn to the fact that AI applications are intended to support doctors and improve medical decision-making, not to replace specialists.
Aed and Mostafa particularly stressed the need to accelerate project completion, strictly adhere to established deadlines, and maintain close interaction with both companies. This is necessary to complete the work according to the highest technical and technological standards, which aligns with the ministry's goal of creating an advanced digital healthcare system for citizens.
