Ministry spokesperson Hossam Abdel Ghaffar said the services covered emergency care and outpatient clinics, noting that 4.42 million citizens received imaging services—including X-rays, CT scans, ultrasounds, MRIs, and mammograms. He added that 33,731 patients underwent endoscopy procedures, while hospitals performed 150,745 dialysis sessions during the same period.
Assistant Minister for Therapeutic Affairs Peter Wagih reported that hospitals carried out 733,603 surgeries, ranging from minor procedures to complex operations. Intensive care services were provided to 131,608 patients, while 49,592 newborns received treatment in neonatal units.

The ministry reaffirmed its commitment to upgrading hospital infrastructure and staff training, ensuring the delivery of comprehensive, high-quality medical services across all governorates.
