1. Purpose of consultancy
This consultancy aims to support the Egyptian Health System in development and strengthening of the clinical governance system within it and promoting its application at various levels of practice. To achieve this, the WHO will hire a consultant with top-level experience in clinical governance to work with teams from Egyptian Ministry of Health and Population (MOHP), Universal Health Insurance (UHI) authorities and WHO Egypt to carry out this work as defined below. This consultancy will also support implementation of the integrated multi concept approach in the region for generation and use of evidence for policy-making for health.
2. Background
In December 2017, Egypt passed a Universal Health Insurance (UHI) law to accelerate progress towards Universal Health Coverage (UHC). The new UHI law is regarded as a comprehensive “Health Act” that entails major health sector transformation with fundamental institutional, functional, and regulatory restructuring separating financing from provision of health services.
As stipulated in the law, a new “Universal Health Insurance Agency (UHIA)” has been established to serve as the “purchaser” of health services, a “Egyptian Healthcare Authority (EHA)” established as the public “provider” of health services and, a “General Authority for Healthcare Accreditation and Regulation (GAHAR)” established as the “accreditor and technical regulator”. This has consequently led to substantial change in the mandates, authorities, responsibilities, and governance framework of the ministry of health and population as well. According to the new aw, insurance coverage for all Egyptians will be rolled-out all over the country in 6 phases over 10-years period. WHO is very keen that the ambitious project will be working towards achieving the health pillar of the sustainable development goals.
Putting Egyptians’ health and quality of life the final goal. UHC will ensure that all Egyptians have the access to early intervention, and prevention coverage, with reasonable acceptable quality. Towards developing the system of UHC with its core of upgrading the quality of provided services, while ensuring the availability of proper benchmarking for its functions and to build on them afterwards to adopt a convenient strategy for the provided health care services in Egypt
WHO Egypt is committed to supporting the government of Egypt in its pursuit to achieve UHC, by addressing current and upcoming challenges through its wealth of technical expertise. WHO Egypt worked with the GoE to operationalize this concept and make UHC a reality. WHO support is based on the priorities needed for health systems strengthening and health security, ranging from Health governance and leadership upgrade, Health workforce development, health services quality enhancement, implementing equitable health financing reforms, medical products and devices support.
In addition to all this, informed by best available evidence from verifiable knowledge, research and reliable information.
