Medical Assistance provides for a variety of medical necessities such as hospitalizations, surgeries, emergencies, x-rays, medications and dialysis.
BLESS provides aid to chronically-ill individuals unable to meet their own healthcare costs. Bear in mind that the insurance system in Egypt is limited and is inaccessible to those in need. Any medical procedure or treatment is paid for in cash and is often far beyond even a middle class individual’s means. The Medical Assistance program funds a variety of procedures and medications, including kidney dialysis, hepatitis, cancer, and hemophilila treatments, blood transfusions, x-rays, prescription eyeglasses, psychiatric care, various surgeries, and treatments of tuberculosis.
