Highlights the critical need for establishing cardiac rehabilitation programs in Egypt to improve outcomes for patients with coronary heart disease.
In a developing country such as Egypt, poor education and living standards are substantial barriers to patients' health knowledge, risk-factor modification, and adherence to medications. Patients with coronary heart disease are in great need of a rehabilitation service to help them to return to their activities and maintain safe exertion levels. Cardiac rehabilitation programmes are highly cost effective and should be at the forefront of the Egyptian Ministry of Health and Population's agenda. However, until recently, no such programmes existed in the public sector.
