Egypt faces a real challenge from the shortage of doctors and supporting bodies. There are doctors for 2000 citizens, and while more than two million are born annually, they are exposed to malnutrition and health and psychological problems such as stunting 21%, obesity 17%, anemia 27%, and cesarean section 63 In addition to the presence of many young people without work, as unemployment in Egypt reached 10.76% - 2019, and for females 22.15%.
