The protocol, he noted, aims to lure medical tourism to Egypt and facilitate the exchange of doctors and patients at special prices in order to provide a better service.

For his part, Chairman of Prime Pharma Corp. Tamer Wagih said the protocol includes selecting the best hospitals, hotels as well as tourist destinations and services.
