Corruption In Egypt’s Medical System “Unleashed”

Last updated: March 09, 2009

Having received comments from somebody who thought I was lying when I said Egypt’s medical schools are severely corrupt, I had to somehow tell him that I was not lying, and that there are a lot of other people who are saying the same things I’m saying, and may be even more terrible things.

Below are some articles and forum topics (most of them are in Arabic) that I have found. They all talk about the negatives of Egypt’s medical education, schools, and system as a whole. In fact, I haven’t found any articles on the postivies, of course except those written by the officials which you can never trust. I’ll be updating the list as I find more. I haven’t checked newspapers, but I guess it would take me a lifetime to list all the corrupt things in them here.
