Medical facilities, hospitals, etc

[SharpFamily]

Hello,

I am being posted to Cairo in September, and my wife and two-month-old son will be coming with me from the UK. Our son needs ongoing medical care, namely from a paediatrician, physiotherapist and occupational therapist.

Any information on the best hospitals in Cairo, how the system works, what others have experienced would be gratefully received.

Hi there, I would recommend you go to the Embassy for the information you need and contact the British Community Association and/or Cairo HHH/Cairo Rugby, you will be made welcome (HHH involves lots of beer,) Hope this helps, enjoy your stay. Helen

hello,

I would recommend rather the private hospitals in Cairo. There are a few of them, mostly with good care facilities.

Just look around which one will be the closer one to your home as its hard to go through all Cairo normally.
