EMERGENCIES AND HEALTH

I have compiled a list of emergency telephone numbers
for Cairo (unless noted otherwise) that I hope will be of
help. Telephone numbers in Egypt change rapidly, so be
sure to double-check that prefixes have not changed since
publication. Also, Dr Sameh M Arab, MD, wrote a good
article entitled ‘Medical Emergencies in Egypt’, which can
be found at:
