E-PaCC focuses on three core pillars to enhance the patient experience and aims to expand the patient-centred care model to 20 hospitals, 10 governorates, and over 500 primary healthcare units.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-0\">The first phase of Egypt\u2019s healthcare reform delivered over 70 million services to more than 5 million citizens across six governorates. The second phase, starting in the 2025\/2026 financial year, will add five governorates\u2014Matrouh, Damietta, Kafr El-Sheikh, Minya, and North Sinai\u2014covering 534 primary care units and 30 upgraded hospitals, serving 12 million people. The project features a twinning partnership between Ismailia Medical Complex and Nagoya Medical Centre in Japan, facilitating knowledge transfer and best practices.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-0\">Tools such as real-time safety monitoring (OVR) and \u201cPatient Journey Dialogue\u201d will be deployed to improve care quality. This initiative builds on a longstanding Egypt-Japan partnership, including previous JICA-supported programs that introduced Japanese quality models in Egyptian hospitals and trained over 1,200 medical professionals, aiming for a qualitative leap in healthcare services and sustainable system improvement.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;TO BE EDITED &#8211; TEXT OF THE NEWS &#8211; BLOCK 2 &#8211; Click on the WHEEL icon to open the textarea where you can paste or type your news.
