Cairo: January 27, 2026

Following The United Bank’s announcement of its doctors' finance product, the bank has targeted physicians across the Republic from various specialties whether they are looking to establish new clinics or expand existing medical facilities.
Data from the Doctors' Syndicate indicates that Greater Cairo and Alexandria hold the largest share of physician distribution nationwide. This concentration is a result of the high density of private hospitals, specialized medical centers, and investment opportunities in these specific governorates.
In contrast, Upper Egyptian governorates such as Minya, Sohag, Qena, and Assiut—alongside North and South Sinai, Matrouh, and the New Valley suffer from a noticeable shortage of doctors relative to population density and health needs. This shortage leads to increased pressure on government hospitals and higher treatment costs for citizens.
In response, The United Bank launched the doctors' finance product as an indirect economic solution. The product offers flexible financing solutions tailored for doctors, reaching up to 3 million EGP, with a competitive interest rate of 5% and a repayment period of up to 7 years. The application process is streamlined to accommodate the nature of medical practice.

The United Bank aims to encourage doctors nationwide to establish new clinics and medical centers. This initiative contributes to improving health services, thereby raising the general productivity of citizens, creating job opportunities, and increasing savings and investment rates across all Egyptian governorates.
Tarek Fayed, Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director, The United Bank, emphasized that investing in the health sector is a direct investment in national human capital. He noted that empowering doctors to expand in various governorates contributes to achieving health equity and reinforces Egypt Vision 2030.
He added that The United Bank treats the physician as an economic project capable of creating added value both in terms of service and development that feeds into the growth of the local economy. 
Fayed also highlighted the bank's national role as an economic and developmental partner, working to transform financing into a tool for achieving geographical justice in health services, enhancing national health security, and supporting inclusive economic growth.
From his side, Amr Nossair, Deputy Managing Director, explained that the doctors' Finance product was designed to address the financing challenges facing emerging, small, and medium-sized medical facilities, especially in governorates lacking adequate health services. He confirmed that the financing and digital packages provided by The United Bank support financial inclusion and sustainable development.
