Resource Description:

The Egyptian Health Sector Reform Program introduced the Family Health Model in 1999 to strengthen the existing primary health care service delivery system. The FHM revised the basic package of integrated services in the PHC facilities, including rural Family Health Units , which served catchment areas of less than 20,000 population, and urban Family Health Centers, which served the larger populations of Egypt’s cities. The model was initially piloted in three governorates, and as of 2008, it was being implemented in 26 governorates. In 2009, preparation for further scale-up was on its way to cover 4,591 PHC units and centers throughout Egypt.
