The number of beds overall increased to 28.87% by 2005 (MOHP, 2005). The MOHP has an increase rate of 16.34% in hospital beds in the last fifteen years, adding 12,828 beds to its inpatient capacity between 1991 and 2005. The inpatient capacity of universities and hospitals increased by 40.30 %. The number of beds in the private sector has increased (58.35%), the majority of which are in Cairo. In the last fifteen years, HIO increased its inpatient capacity by 4,957 beds or 50.44 %. On the other hand, the bed capacity of CCO has reduced, with a decrease of -2,670 beds over the last fifteen years. This is simply because most of its big hospitals have been shifted to another institution, newly developed within MOHP headquarters, termed Specialized Medical Centers (SMC).

If we consider physicians working in MOHP units together with those working in MOHP organizations (7,389 physicians), the ratio will be decreased to one physician per 1,338 of the population. Further decrease will be noticed if we consider the whole number of physicians registered in the Egyptian Medical Syndicate (144,354 physicians), i.e. one physician per 453 of the population. According to the family health model, recently applied and suggested in Egypt, urban and rural health units and centers would be given new terms as family health units (FHU) and family health centers (FHC). Dental clinics should no 79

Table 8.2.4 shows the distribution of physicians among some service providers. Those registered physicians who are not actually working are mostly on vacation (home or abroad). The total number of physicians registered in the Egyptian Medical Syndicate is 144,354 whereas those working in MOHP and other public health facilities number 75,314. The difference between the sets of figures is the number of physicians working in police and army, or those with private careers or already retired. Physicians working in the SMC are originally MOHP or with other public health facilities (1,196), very few having contracts (114) or being newly employed (1,205).
