埃及的医疗保险主要以政府及商业保险为主，覆盖率低且医疗服务质量有待提高。近年来，当地糖尿病、慢性肾病、高血压性心脏病、COPD、肝癌的发病率呈上升趋势。古埃及传统医学与中医学有相似性，其现代传统医学则以阿拉伯医学为主。针灸作为中医药的主要形式于20世纪70年代引入埃及，且在埃及有所发展，但尚未纳入其医疗保险体系。中医药在埃及的整体发展水平有待提高，建议在针灸、教育及发挥治未病特色上进一步探索，促进中医药在埃及的发展与推广。“,”Egypt’s medical insurance is mainly covered by government and commercial insurance. The low coverage of commercial insurance and the quality of medical services needs more improvement in Egypt. Recently, the incidence rate of diabetes, chronic kidney disease, hypertensive heart disease, COPD and liver cancer is rising. Traditional Egyptian medicine is similar to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), and its modern traditional medicine is mainly Arabian medicine. Acupuncture, as the main form of TCM, was introduced into Egypt in the 1970s, but it has not been covered by the medical insurance system. The development of TCM in Egypt needs improvement. It is suggested that further explorated fields should be focused on the acupuncture therapy, TCM education and TCM treatment of keeping health in Egypt.
