    Dr Hatem the Minister of Health, said that the new draft law on health insurance designed to treat around 20 million poor people free of charge, who will be identified in cooperation with the Ministry of Social Solidarity, as the State would bear the cost of treatment groups not capable and low-income, who will be fully exempted from payment of any financial costs, and will be treated at the expense of the state by 100%, and will have full freedom to choose where they want to cure it, and the State to pay the full financial cost of these outpatient facilities, because the most important thing in the new draft law that health insurance Takaful "social", it shall be It focuses on the social conditions of citizens in the first place.

    This came during a meeting organized by the Egyptian Businessmen Association (EBA) yesterday evening, Wednesday, was attended by Dr Hatem mountain, to discuss the developments AH1N1 swine influenza virus in Egypt and the world, and the Health Ministry's plan to tackle the spread of disease, the ministry's plan to pass a new law on health insurance.

    The Minister of Health, that until now no one knows what is the source or place where the swine flu virus AH1N1, is not proven scientifically until the present time that pigs are the cause of the presence of the virus, but the pig is more animal occurs by mutation of the virus.

    The minister pointed out that the swine flu is spreading at a rate 4 times faster than any other disease, declaring that he will be vaccinated children in school, and who are over the age of 6 months of swine flu vaccine in the coming days.

    The minister said, "We will start school districts, especially as we are heading at the top of the wave spread of the disease, the month of January 2010, which is expected to increase the numbers of the disease which is great, and will be launched very soon Tamiflu market price of 70 pounds of the tape, which contains 10 Tablets , to reassure the many people who rest assured when this drug in their homes. "

    He advised women not to become pregnant only after the end of next March and by April 2010, at the end of the most difficult wave, which is expected to increase the number of infection which dramatically.

    He demanded the closure of any school without reference to the Ministry of Health, and after the WHO pointed out, that chapter is closed or the school where there were cases of infection for one week only, and not weeks, as is the practice we have in Egypt, we are studying the feasibility of this proposal soon, adding that any vaccination should be side effects, after the vaccination of about 98 million people worldwide, a patient with only N., who suffered from bleeding due to vaccination, but not so far proved a frightening side effects of vaccination, and is targeted to provide in Egypt 8 (million)ملايين and 750 thousand dose vaccination very soon.

    Dr. Hatem mountain, that provoked panic among the citizens because the swine flu is not justified, because the disease is similar to regular seasonal influenza, but care must be large and take all procedures to ensure that infection by AH1N1, especially during January, and the fact that a note had been forwarded to the Attorney General Abdel Meguid Mahmoud on December 23 this, because one of the civil society is incorrect to publish a report on the swine flu panic among the citizens, because we totally reject that terrorism is the desire of citizens to a specific destination to take revenge on a particular official.

    The Minister of Health, the "family" is the unit that will be insured and not the individual, who will man the breadwinner insurance on his wife, if she is not working and believes in the children, although his wife was "going concern" comes out of this insurance shall be secured by itself.

    For his part, said Engineer Hussain patient, Chairman of the Egyptian Businessmen Association (EBA), We thank the conditions that have made Dr. Hatem mountain, is the Minister of Health in Egypt during this period, namely, the period of the outbreak of swine flu AH1N1, because it is essentially a doctor specializing in medicine, and knows well how to take the right decision at the right time, and Dr. Hatem mountain has a brain and the mentality of the businessman, and thus demands a good understanding and work to meet them quickly.
