That said, the government had apparently planned for total investments in the healthcare sector to increase 16.7% year-on-year EGP 12.6 bn, up from EGP 10.6 bn. According to a detailed healthcare agenda published in Al Borsa, the government had intended for the private sector to cover 40% of these costs with investments of EGP 5 bn. The treasury was expected to cover 81% of the EGP 7.3 bn the government had planned to pump into the sector with the remainder being spent from the reserves, local government budgets and international aid grants. EGP 4.5 bn would be spent on building 160 new hospitals, EGP 450 mn in building intensive care units in varying hospitals and providing them with 300 ambulances, while EGP 520 mn would go into developing prenatal care facilities at existing hospitals.
