Enhancing public services through digitalisation
A major priority for the government is the expansion of the Digital Egypt platform. Minister of Communications and Information Technology Amr Talaat reported that traffic violation inquiries are now exclusively online, representing a significant step toward full e-governance.
Additionally, the government is working on digitising notary services, which currently require in-person visits. Efforts are also underway to strengthen digital infrastructure, ensuring uninterrupted access to essential services. These initiatives reflect Egypt’s commitment to improving citizen interactions with government agencies.
Implementing the Unified Services Card
Prime Minister Madbouly has ordered the immediate implementation of the Unified Services Card in Port Said, ensuring all technical requirements are met for a seamless rollout. This card will simplify access to health insurance, supply subsidies, and social protection programs, reducing reliance on physical documentation and enhancing convenience for citizens. It can be managed via smartphone to eliminate the need for physical cards.
By integrating multiple essential services into one system, the initiative aims to promote digital inclusion and improve the efficiency of government service delivery.
