After launching an aggressive campaign to fight the debilitating hepatitis C virus domestically, Egypt launched a program to help the estimated 71 million people afflicted with the disease worldwide.

In May 2016, the country launched the Tour n’ Cure program, which has been promoted by football celebrities Lionel Messi and Dani Alves. For €5,900 ($8,000), European patients can spend a week in Egypt and tour the country at the same time they receive treatment for the virus.

Tour n’ Cure, Egypt’s latest initiative in medical tourism, offers the opportunity to treat Hepatitis C patients from all over the world, through an effective and advanced complete treatment program with no waiting time and at a fraction of the cost.

It also offers to enjoy the beauty of Egypt and visit historic landmarks during the days of the treatment, while enjoying a relaxing stay at a 5-star hotel.
