Egypt has announced the launch of its National Health Tourism Platform, a key initiative within the government’s strategy to become a global medical and wellness tourism hub by 2030, with the aim to position itself as one of the world’s top ten destinations in these segments.
The announcemenrt was made by Minister of Health and Population Khaled Abdel - Ghaffar during a meeting of the National Council for Health Tourism.
With his strategic initiative Egypt aims to integrate technology, healthcare, and tourism to create a comprehensive ecosystem that supports its long - term vision, part of the country’s National Health Tourism Strategy 2030, which focuses on digital transformation, human resource development, sustainable infrastructure, and global promotion. The platform also seeks to boost transparency, improve service accessibility, and position Egypt as a competitive regional hub for medical excellence.
The new platform will serve as a central digital gateway for international patients seeking treatment in the North African country, a system accurately developed to streamline medical travel and strengthen Egypt’s position in global healthcare tourism.
The platform will offer a user - friendly system for booking, coordinating and managing medical and wellness services, from travel arrangements to post - treatment care, while ensuring data protection and adherence to global patient right standards as reported by Daily News Egypt, daily newspaper established in 2005 and headquartered in Dokki, Giza.
The tourism medical platform also features a comprehensive telemedicine via virtual consultations, and AI - powered personalization for users. It will provide detailed information on healthcare providers, and educational content about tourism attractions.
The National Council for Health Tourism has already reviewed branding proposals for the platform and discussed accreditation frameworks to ensure that all participating institutions comply with international quality and safety standards.
Minister of Health and Population underlined that Egypt’s growing reputation as a healthcare destination is driven by a combination of qualified medical professionals, advanced medical infrastructure, and unique natural therapeutic resources such as mineral springs and favourable climate conditions, noting that the platform will strengthen global trust and enhance the visibility of Egyptian healthcare service abroad.
Minister of Youth and Sports Ashraf Sobhi highlighted that health tourism is viewed as a pillar of sustainable development, combining medical care with wellness and sports programmes.
