Alexandria Reports More Than 50% Drop in Critical Care Waiting Lists

Waiting lists for critical cases requiring intensive care beds and premature infant incubators in Alexandria fell by more than 50% during September, according to the city’s health directorate.

The directorate’s Critical and Urgent Care Department announced the reduction, which covered patients awaiting placement in both types of specialised care.

The reported decline concerns waiting lists rather than the total number of patients receiving treatment. The announcement did not provide a breakdown between intensive care cases and premature infants.

No starting or closing waiting-list totals were included in the brief statement, nor did it specify the measures behind the reduction.
