Representative Tariq Abdel Aziz, Undersecretary of the Constitutional and Legislative Committee in the Senate, confirmed that the University Hospitals Law was something we needed 200 years ago.
This came in today’s plenary session, dedicated to discussing the report of the joint committee from the Education, Scientific Research, Communications and Information Technology Committee, and the Office of the Health and Population Committee, on a draft law submitted by the government amending some provisions of the law regulating work in university hospitals issued by Law No. (19) of 2018.
He said: But the second part of the law will take us back 200 years, stressing that there is something that frightened him, which is that 90% of university hospitals do not have civil defense approvals.
He stressed the necessity of adopting special standards for specializations in university hospitals, especially those not affiliated with the government, especially since the branches of private and foreign universities will join the Supreme Council of University Hospitals.

He continued that the other half of the law included ambiguous articles, most notably the selection of the executive director by the dean of the college of medicine, and the fact that the position of the executive director is equal to the dean of the college of medicine, and may be superior to him in some universities, because the executive director runs the university hospital and 17 centers specialized in oncology, the digestive system, and emergencies, and he needs a personality capable of financial management and oversight, and to eliminate the idea of paralysis.
