Egypt assigns 2,772 physical therapy graduates from class of 2023 as selection criteria draw dispute
The Ministry of Health has assigned 2,772 out of about 5,400 physical therapy graduates from the class of 2023, based on actual need and a grade threshold, prompting objections and syndicate intervention.
- The Ministry of Health issued a decision to assign 2,772 physical therapy graduates from the class of 2023, using the actual need of health facilities and a cumulative grade of at least 81.89% as criteria.
- Graduates from the class of 2023 said the system changed the assignment rules they had enrolled under in 2018 and rejected its retroactive application.
- The Syndicate of Physical Therapy announced it had raised the assignment percentage to about 50% through contacts with the Ministry and parliament members, but said the current number remains insufficient.
- The Syndicate appealed to the President, Prime Minister, and ministers for solutions, and demanded a supplementary assignment for remaining graduates and the assignment of at least 2,000 graduates to university hospitals.
