Economic Analysis of the Nurse Shortage in Egypt
Working Paper
By Marwa Farag, Research Fellow, The Dubai Initiative
The health sector in Egypt suffers from a severe shortage of qualified nurses (nurses with at least 2 years of post high school nursing education) and a much less apparent perceived/real shortage of all-type nurses.

It was submitted as part of the Dubai School of Government's working paper series.
