During a field tour of several Egypt Healthcare Authority facilities in Port Said, Dr. Amir Telwany, the Executive Director of the Egypt Healthcare Authority, explored the opinions of beneficiaries regarding the quality of healthcare services provided at the Authority's facilities. This tour aligns with directives from Dr. Ahmed El-Sobky, Chief of the Egypt Healthcare Authority, urging all Authority leaders and branch managers to monitor the actual execution of work processes with the highest quality standards and to gather beneficiaries' feedback on the medical services provided to them.

The statement from the Authority detailed that Dr. Telwany began his tour at the Hayat Porfuad Hospital, where he inspected various departments including reception, emergency, surgery, and intensive care, and gathered patient feedback to assess the quality of medical services offered to beneficiaries under the comprehensive health coverage in the province.
