Résumé (anglais)

This study presents a review of the situation of refugees and asylum seekers in Egypt to assess the feasibility of including them in the Universal Health Insurance scheme (UHIS) launched in 2018.  

The study proposes a long-term strategy to ensure equal treatment of refugees and asylum seekers at par with Egyptians and grounded in sound economic policy options. It also presents data for policymakers and international agencies to make well-informed policy decisions, calling for intensive advocacy efforts with the Government of Egypt and strategic implications for the health programme.
