Abstract

With over 104 million citizens in 2020 and high population growth, Egypt needs and deserves high-quality health care. While the regulatory framework for medical education in Egypt has rapidly evolved, the progress of developing a system of Continuing Professional Development (CPD) for health professionals has been slow. Grounded on the well-developed tradition of lifelong learning in the medical community, CPD integrates every health professional's ethical responsibility and increases job satisfaction. CPD involves an ongoing process of learning and upgrading knowledge and skills. It also entails the personal development of healthcare providers throughout their professional life. On March 13, 2022, Law No. 12 of 2022 was issued and published, which pertains to the establishment of the Egyptian Health Council and regulates its work The executive regulations of Law No. 12 of 2022 were planned to be issued within six months of the law's publication. However, the executive regulations have not yet been issued, and the situation remains as it is without any regulating bylaws (in action) for an obligatory CPD system for all health professionals working in the Arab Republic of Egypt.
