Egypt’s Ministry of Health and Population said its mobile medical clinics provided more than 8.4 million free medical and treatment services to around 3.4 million people over a one-year period, with priority given to border governorates and underserved communities.
The ministry said 4,790 medical convoys operated across all governorates between July 1, 2025 and June 30, 2026, serving an average of about 715 people per convoy.
The clinics conducted around 1.17 million laboratory tests and diagnostic examinations, alongside medical consultations, free medication and health education services, the ministry said in a statement.
Patients requiring surgery were referred to ministry-affiliated hospitals, where treatment was provided at the state’s expense.
Medical examinations accounted for 40.57% of all services, free medication for 35.33%, laboratory tests for 13.85%, and health education for 8.86%, according to the ministry.
Peter Wagih, Assistant Minister of Health for Curative Care, said the programme prioritised border governorates and areas with the greatest healthcare needs.
Matrouh recorded the highest number of medical convoys, with 549, followed by Alexandria with 289 and Beheira with 228.
Sharqia delivered the largest number of medical services, at about 674,000, and recorded the highest number of beneficiaries, at around 311,000. It was followed by Assiut, Aswan, Monufeya and Minya.
The ministry said the medical supply fulfilment rate had risen to 42.2%, while the proportion of stagnant inventory had declined to 0.28%.
Border governorates received strategic medical supplies worth EGP 12.5m from the Helwan warehouse complex, while the mobile clinics were equipped with digital imaging devices, dental equipment and patient monitors.
The ministry said it would continue expanding the mobile clinic programme and strengthening primary and specialised healthcare services nationwide.
