How Hospital Ethics Committee Approval works in Egypt

Egypt's EDA permits personal-use import of non-registered drugs under physician supervision; process is paperwork-heavy but viable.

Patients in Egypt seeking access under Hospital Ethics Committee Approval typically follow this flow: a licensed physician in Egypt issues the prescription and clinical justification, the regulator reviews and authorises, and an authorised operator coordinates import.

Documents required in Egypt

• Physician prescription and clinical-justification letter.
• Patient identification and consent.
• Country-specific NPP/personal-import form.
• Hospital or clinic attestation where required.

Typical timeline

End-to-end 2-6 weeks in most tier 2 jurisdictions. Cellular and gene therapies may require additional ethics-committee review.
