The Financial Regulatory Authority (FRA) has issued regulations governing insurance operations covered by the Government Fund for Insurance against Risks Arising from Medical Errors, as part of efforts to enforce the provisions of the Unified Insurance Law and the Law Regulating Medical Liability and Patient Safety. Under the system, the fund will compensate beneficiaries for cases of death, disability, or bodily injury resulting from medical errors, in accordance with the terms of the issued insurance policy. Compensation may be provided directly by the fund or through contracts with one or more insurance companies or an insurance pool approved by the FRA. Premiums are set at EGP 9,600 for medical centres, EGP 3,600 for radiology centres, EGP 2,400 for laboratories, and EGP 1,200 for pharmacies. The fund may also contribute to covering other damages resulting from medical errors, excluding cases where medical liability is absent or where fraud or deception is involved.
