Which statement about Egypt's universal healthcare system is true?

• A. It is funded mainly through income taxes.
• B. It will cover all Egyptians in all governorates by 2030.
• C. It excludes retirees from coverage.
• D. It is already fully implemented nationwide.

Answer: (B)

The main idea here is how Egypt is expanding health coverage across the country. Egypt is rolling out universal health coverage through a phased Unified Health Insurance system, with the goal of reaching every citizen in every governorate. The statement that by 2030 all Egyptians across all governorates will be covered reflects the government’s target timeline for nationwide coverage. This plan is funded through a mix of government funding, mandatory insurance contributions, and subsidies, not solely through income taxes, so the funding description in that other option isn’t the right fit. Retirees are included in the coverage, so the idea that they’re excluded isn’t accurate. Since the rollout is ongoing and not yet complete nationwide, the target date for full coverage is the best fit.
