Projected regional changes in health spending due to population growth and aging, 2000–2020(%)   It is the simple facts of demographics that drive the Egyptian healthcare system changes. Total population has reached about 78M and annual growth is about 1.8M. Growth in population between 2000 and 2020 in Egypt is projected to add 34%, and the aging factor (increase in cost per capita) to add another 24% to total health spending (at total of 58% increase). This translates to an average annual growth rate in health spending of 2.9 percent in real terms. Since this estimate is based on the assumption of constant medical technology and cost structure, it represents the lower boundary of the projected health expenditure growth rate. The following graph presents the regional changes in health spending.
