**2.** **Background**

Egypt endorsed UHI law in 2018 to achieve UHC. With proper implementation, UHI provides the means to ensuring that everyone has access to needed quality health services without suffering financial hardship. The government plan is to roll-out the system geographically in six phases over a 10-year period. By then, all Egyptians are to be covered on a mandatory basis through whole family membership.

As such, three organizations were created: The Universal Health Insurance Authority (UHIA) as a payer, General Authority for Healthcare (GAHC) as the public provider, indicating a split in service provision from the Ministry of Health and Population (MOHP), and the General Authority for Healthcare Accreditation and Regulation (GAHAR).

WHO is committed to supporting the government of Egypt in its pursuit to achieve UHC, by addressing current and upcoming challenges through its wealth of technical expertise. WHO Egypt worked with the GoE to operationalize this concept and make UHC a reality. WHO support is based on the priorities needed for health systems strengthening and health security, ranging from Health governance and leadership upgrade, Health workforce development, health services quality enhancement, implementing equitable health financing reforms, medical products and devices support.
