English speaking Doctor ..Red Sea Resorts

[GM1]

Sam is located in Sharm, so dr Reham is also in Sharm. The topic is only for Red Sea area. I hope someone else can recommend a pediatrician in Cairo for you.

For interest, both the Nile and Al Gouna International do a full health screening programme - works out about 800LE if you are resident. I found out I had a rather large gall stone.

Thanks for this info, when I went for a mammogram ( when the doc wasn't there) it was suggested I have the full health screening, I said no, but maybe it is a good idea! Could be interesting.

First visit was under one hour from apartment back to apartment, including waiting for taxi time. Impressive I thought. Take passport to register. All was clean and modern.

There are unfortunately often two sides to every story; When my wife was admitted to the Nile Hospital a few months ago the nurse who put the line into her arm was attaching a name tag to her wrist and tried to close the clips with her teeth!! Needless to say my wife was not impressed! Even less so when the senior consultant couldn't see what all the fuss was about!! They obviously have never heard of HIV...

Anyone know of a good English speaking doctor in Hurghada? Just need someone we can trust for regular check ups, blood tests, medication etc.

I had a toe surgery. A whole team of medical staff looked after me. Many spoke English and it was the best hospital I have ever been and the care was brilliant. Underwent an operation and could not believe how reasonable the price was. Many medical staff also spoke European languages too.

Peter, I respect your comments and accept them to be true. However, I hope that nurse is no longer there. my experience was totally different. I was amazed that every surgical tool came out of sealed packaging and were all sterile. Even the medical staff bystanders in the operation room were dressed in white footwear, gowns and hats. Barely any flesh could be seen and my operation was done with my doctor wearing gloves which he removed from new sealed packaging. They then seemed to throw the items away after surgery. The floors were spotless and glancing around, nothing with the tinyest contamination was visable.
