From her side, Eng. Maha Mandour, Group managing director for PTS holdings, affirmed her belief in the importance of investing in the healthcare sector in Egypt, which is a major pillar of the Egyptian economy and society, whereas Egypt is the largest Arab country in terms of population, with nearly 100 million Egyptians living within its borders; adding 10 million others abroad. With an annual population growth rate of more than 2%, it is expected that the population will reach more than 130 million by 2030, and 175 million by 2050, which will lead to an increase in the demand for care. Meanwhile, only 8 percent of the population is over the age of 60 (about 7.7 million), but this age group is expected to increase to 18 million by 2030 and to reach 13.8 percent of the population (about 24 million) by 2050 With the need for health care services increasing steadily, this requires serious participation from the private sector in solidarity with the state's efforts to develop this sector.
