Abstract:
The risk of COVID-19 mortality among physicians in Egypt has not been estimated yet. Using data from the Egyptian Ministry of Health and Population (MoHP), the Central Agency for Public Mobilization And Statistics (CAPMAS) in Egypt, and the Egyptian Medical Syndicate, this report aimed to roughly estimate this risk. We found that, up to April 28th, 2021, the deaths of physicians contributed to 3.7% of COVID-19 mortality in Egypt, and physicians were almost 19 times more likely to die of COVID-19 compared with the general population above the median age (>24.5 years). Still, this contribution could be overestimated because the MoHP might have failed to report a significant number of COVID-19 deaths among the general population.
