Chapeau Egyptian women: Egyptian women got a shoutout from our — ironically all-male — talking heads last night in celebration of International Women’s Day, celebrated globally on 8 March. Masa’a DMC (watch, runtime: 4:40) dove into the history of International Women’s Day, which was first celebrated by the UN in 1975, while Ala Mas’ouleety (watch, runtime: 2:01) gave props to President Abdel Fattah El Sisi for his support to Egyptian women. Al Hayah Al Youm interviewed Director of the African Migration Observatory Namira Negm to talk all things equality and what needs to be done to ensure the floor is equal for women (watch, runtime: 4:43).

Lamees El Hadidy, the queen of the nighttime talk shows, was off last night. Lamees is consistently the most informed and intelligent pro-business voice on the airwaves.

Preventing the medical brain drain: The Madbouly government is forming a committee to look into what needs to be done to improve the lives of Egyptian doctors in efforts to keep them from migrating abroad. “The committee will work on improving the conditions for doctors through three main pillars — finances, training and education, and law,” Health Ministry spokesman Hossam Abdel Ghaffar said on Ala Mas’ouleety (watch, runtime: 15:18). A recent article in the Washington Post claimed that low wages and rising inflation led to more than 11.5k doctors leaving Egypt’s public healthcare system between 2019 and 2022, raising pressure on hospitals.

The news received coverage from Al Hayah Al Youm (watch, runtime: 1:56), Masa’a DMC (watch, runtime: 2:00) and Ala Mas’ouleety, which interviewed Banque Misr’s head of consumer banking, Ihab Dorra (watch, runtime: 12:13).
