ITIC MEA Speaker Interview: Dr. Ahmed Monir

Mandy Langfield spoke to Dr Ahmed Monir, Founder of LGA Group, about his upcoming attendance at ITIC MEA in Cairo, what the audience can expect to hear from his during his presentation, and what he’s looking forward to about the event.

What do you think international insurance companies really need to understand more about the healthcare system in Egypt in order to operate more effectively there?

It is of critical importance that international insurers deepen their understanding of the nuances of the Egyptian healthcare system. Delving into the regulatory landscape, including channels for reporting malpractices and the role of local assistance companies, is paramount. Additionally, comprehending pricing challenges and the impact of inflation on case management behaviour is essential.

Our initiative to consolidate information on a single portal aims to foster transparency and facilitate efficient feedback mechanisms, enhancing the operational effectiveness of insurance companies in Egypt.

Could you please share a few key highlights from your presentation that will show our audience what they can expect to learn from your speech?

a. Digital solutions: Through collaboration with Egyptian healthcare authorities, we are pioneering digital solutions to democratise access, enhance transparency, and optimise payment regulation, thereby promoting efficiency across the system.

b. Cost containment strategies: Attendees can expect insights into innovative cost containment strategies tailored to the Egyptian context. From leveraging digital health solutions to optimising resource allocation, we will explore practical approaches to enhance efficiency without compromising care quality.

c. Local assistance initiatives: We will discuss the initiatives and best practices of local assistance players like LGA Group, aimed at ensuring comprehensive support for clients in Egypt.

ITIC events aim to balance professional networking opportunities with industry education; what are you most looking forward to this year in Cairo?

With anticipation building for the ITIC event in Cairo, I am eagerly looking forward to engaging in enriching discussions with industry peers and stakeholders. Cairo’s vibrant atmosphere provides an ideal setting for collaboration and knowledge exchange, and we are excited to contribute to the collective advancement of our industry goals.

We anticipate gaining fresh perspectives and forging valuable connections that will propel us toward success. Thank you once again for this opportunity, and we look forward to an insightful and productive conference ahead.
