Egypt is a country of strategic regional importance, hosting a population of 107 million, in addition to more than 9 million migrants and 877,000 registered refugees and asylum-seekers. While the Egyptian healthcare system continues to face notable challenges, including a shortage in the health workforce, rapid population growth, and increasing demands placed on public services by vulnerable communities, the country has made significant progress in enhancing disease surveillance and early warning systems to enable the timely detection of and response to epidemic-prone diseases.
