Program Details
埃及以其古老的奇观和现代文化吸引着人们的想象力,这些文化将历史上定居或入侵埃及的多民族的传统融合在一起. A North African country with a predominantly Muslim population, the culture of modern Egypt has been influenced by Arab invaders, Ottoman Turkish rulers, and European colonists. 今天, Egypt is an independent country of 104 million people, of which approximately 20 million live in the Cairo metropolitan area. While mostly a desert country, the Nile River defines both ancient and modern Egyptian settlements, 在广袤的沙漠中,狭长的葱郁绿植突出地延伸到北部的三角尼罗河三角洲. Cairo is located at the base of this triangle.
While Egypt’s 2014 Constitution established healthcare as a right of all people, the reality of universal public healthcare has not yet been realized, largely due to a lack of funding. Egypt has both public and 私人 healthcare, but the majority of Egyptians who can afford it pay for 私人 healthcare. Egypt’s healthcare has improved tremendously over the last forty years, especially in the areas of maternal and child health, nutrition, and immunizations. 然而, great inequities remain, especially impacting the rural poor, and significant challenges, such as the prevalence of Hepatitis C, chronic malnutrition, 非传染性疾病仍然是政府和非政府机构需要改进的目标. Health education and 政策 development to promote better primary healthcare, family planning, 疾病的预防和控制是当前医疗保健改善项目的关键组成部分. Efforts to address noncommunicable health risks such as cancer, mental health, disability, 肥胖, and tobacco use are also receiving increased attention.
