TheWkly Analysis

Egypt’s Ministry of Health and Population opened and upgraded several dental departments and clinics in government medical facilities in January 2026. The ministry launched a new dental department at Toukh Central Hospital in Qalyubeya (Qalyubia Governorate). It reopened a dental clinic at the Safaga health unit in Red Sea following renovation. The ministry distributed 39 fully equipped dental units across 38 hospitals and medical centres in 17 governorates, including Cairo, Damietta, Kafr El Sheikh, Qena, Dakahleya, Gharbeya, Monufeya, Sohag, Fayoum, Assiut, Beheira, Sharqeya, Alexandria, North Sinai, Giza, and Minya. Dental services were activated under the Decent Life Initiative (a national program to improve living conditions in rural areas) in Sohag, where dental chairs were installed in health units in the Tama and Maragha districts. The ministry replaced or renovated 22 dental chairs in health facilities.
