P.2
A Foreign Service spouse with considerable experience in moving, Wendy Walker has spent
more than half her life abroad, mainly in the Middle East.
Born in England and educated R.A.F. style at numerous bases, Mrs. Walker joined the British
Foreign Office in 1967 as a secretary and was posted first to Dar as Salaam and then to Tel Aviv
where she met Ned Walker. They married in Jerusalem in 1973 and then she came to the States for
the first time that year. She became s naturalized American citizen in 1973.
Evacuated from Beirut in 1975 she helped move the Foreign Service Institute Beirut school to
Tunis in 1975 and then continued onto Cairo with Mr. Walker the same year to finish Arabic studies.
After a follow-up tour in Damascus (1977-1979) the Walkers returned to the States to adopt two
children (Katie, born in Colombia in 1981) and Christopher (born in Weshington in 1982).
In 1984 the family moved to London for a year (Royal College of Defense Studies) and then
went on to Riyadh (1985-1988) and Abu Dhabi (1989-1992). During these years Mrs. Walker. in
addition to her duties as the wife of a diplomat, ran the small Foreign Buildings Office (FBO) in the
Embassy during the construction of new housing, worked for a short time in an American law firm,
helped with a research project at the Documentation and Research Center and volunteered at the
American School during the Guif War. She also volunteered with a group visiting severely
handicapped children and, during the war, encouraged the community to support the American
troops passing through the area.
In 1992, the family returned to the States and went to New York in January 1993 where
Ambassador Walker was Deputy Permanent Representative of the United States to the United
Nations. During this short tour Mrs. Walker worked in a law firm and chose to volunteer among the
homeless at night. Just over a year later she packed the family up for Cairo.
In Cairo Mrs. Walker is back to her Arabic studies while pursuing a Batchelor's degree in
sociology through the University of Maryland overseas program.

Women in Egyptian Society
Egyptian law provides for equality of the sexes, but aspects of
the law and many traditional practices discriminate against
women.
Egyptian women have employment opportunities in government,
medicine, law, academia, the arts, and, to a lesser degree, in
business. About 100 officers in the Egyptian diplomatic
service are women, including 3 ambassadors. Social pressure
against pursuing a career remains strong, however, and some
Egyptian feminists say that a resurgent Islamic fundamentalist
trend limits further gains. Women's rights advocates also
point to other discriminatory attitudes and practices such as
female circumcision and the male relative's role in enforcing
women's compliance with religiously prescribed codes of sexual
conduct.
Women generally do not hold positions of senior leadership in
the Egyptian government or political parties. The Constitution
reserves ten (out of 454) People's Assembly seats for
presidential appointees, which assures some representation for
women. Ten women hold Assembly seats: seven elected and three
appointed.
Laws affecting marriage and personal status generally
correspond to an individual's religion, which for most
Egyptians is Islam. A 1979 liberalization of the family status
law strengthened a Muslim woman's rights to divorce and to
child custody, but in 1985 the changes were found
unconstitutional on grounds that they conflicted with Islamic
law and were repealed.
There are at least two active women's rights groups in Egypt,
one affiliated with the Egyptian Organization for Human
Rights. The other is the Communications Group for the
Enhancement of the Status of Women, which has published a
booklet on the legal rights of Egyptian women.
(The above text is excerpted from the 1993 Human Rights Report)
B. HEALTH SECTOR PROFILE
Health standards continue to be a serious problem in Egypt,
resulting in reduced productivity, depressed quality of life and
lower life expectancy. The four leading causes of death for
Egyptians of all ages are chronic heart disease, lung disease,
infectious diseases and accidents. Debilitating parasitic
(schistosomiasis), bacterial (typhoid, TB) and viral (hepatitis)
diseases are endemic among the adult population. Maternal deaths
due to childbirth are still high at 184 per 100,000 live births.
Schistosomiasis is an important, but steadily declining, cause of
morbidity for all age groups. Waterborne gastrointestinal diseases
strike all age groups. Prior to the national oral rehydration
program, 50% of all deaths were of children under age five, and
half of those were due to diarrhea. Acute respiratory infections
now rank first among causes of child death. Malnutrition has been
greatly reduced through the COE's subsidy of basic foodstuffs, but
there is still significant maternal and child malnutrition due to
iron deficiency, poor weaning practices and intestinal disease.
The GOE has long given high priority to the provision of public
health services. Over 3,200 clinics, 314 community hospitals, and
about 50 modern urban hospitals give most Egyptians access to some
sort of health care. The doctor to population ratio is among the
best in the developing world. However, poor quality of the public
health care system. especially in primary Care, results in under
Utilization of public health facilities. The GOE acknowledges that
its health services must be improved and is facilitating change.
Preventive health programs, particularly child survival programs
such as immunization and oral rehydration therapy (ORT) are gaining
priority but are still underfunded. A very nigh proportion of
public health resources support expensive curative care efforts.
The Ministry of Health plans to introduce cost recovery mechanisms
and to shift more curative health services to the private sector.
The current five-year nealth plan (1992-1997), emphasizes the
importance of preventive health care but budgetary allocations
favor hospital services. More aggressive programs in reproductive
health and family planning, prevention of micronutrient
deficiencies and other interventions that protect maternal and
child health are needed. USAID's projects in this sector support
preventive care, including immunizations, treatment of acute
respiratory infections, and child spacing.
In order to ensure the sustainability of improved health care,
USAID is helping the GOE establish a rational financing system for
health services, emphasizing cost recovery for curative CATA,
greater GOE allocations for naternal and child health programs, and
greater participation of the private sector in the provision of all
health services.
EDUCATION SECTOR PROFILE
Egypt's educational system docs not contribute as much as it should to rapid economic
growth. Nor does it allow the majority of Egyptians to atain their full human potential. Some of the
problems Egypt faces in this secius are: inadequate physical facilities; increasing enrollments without
a commensurate increase in resources devoted to the educational system: inadequate access to schools,
especially in rural areas; limited equipment and books available to students at all levels; and poor
quality of instruction. This contributes to a high primary school dropout rate and poor learning at all
levels. When USAID began project assistance in this sector, first grade enrollment was below 83
percent
In his first speech after re-election in October 1987, President Mubarak identified
educational reform as one of the four areas requiring major national efforts (the other three being
health. housing and tourism). The Ministry of Education has embarked on a major effort to
formulate a strategy for educational reform. The strategy is designed to provide sufficient funds for
school buildings w reduce crowding, to enhance technical education at secondary and higher
educational levels and to upgrade and main teachers.
USAID has provided $375 million of education and training since 1975. Lu a major effort
to increase primary school enrollments, USAID Is building 1,800 schools in. rural areas currently
underserved (e.g. the nearest school is at least five kilomaers away). Over 1,000 schools have been
completed and new schools are being built at a rate of one per day. The impact on primary school
enrollments is striking. In the three years since the first schools were completed, boys' first grade
enrollment in those carchment areas increased 15 percent. Girls' first grade enrollment increased
much more - 29 percent. Dropout rates in grades two through six decreased at a rate of six percent
for boys and 17 percent for girls. Dropout rates are reduced markedly as schools are built nearer to
where children live.
Since 1975, USAID has financed over 8,500 participants in academic and technical
training in the U.S. USAID's contribution to university education and research has been through the
linking of U.S. and Egyptian universities for developmental research activities. The projects in this
sector, and in the Science and Technology and Agriculture sectors, have helped develop relationships
between U.S. and Egyptian scientists that strengthen the capabilities of Egyptian research institutions
to engage in applied research.
The standard Egyptian medical school curriculum provides little exposure to patients or
patient care, and none at all to primary health care services. In a significant break with tradition, the
Suez Canal Area Medical Education and Health Services project has developed a six-year course of
studies in the Sues. Canal University Faculty of Medicine that provides greater student exposure to
local health needs. First year students are placed in rural and urban health facilities. Patient health
problems serve as basic learning units. As the students progress, they receive greater patient
exposure and, ultimately, responsibility for diagnosing and recommending patient treatment. Out of
50 students who entered in the first year, 44 students or close to 90 percent graduated in 1988.
Forry-five percent of the students are female.
A. POPULATION SECTOR PROFILE
Despite dramatic gains in the use of family planning, Egypt's
annual population growth rate, reported by the GOR to be 2.3
percent in 1991, remains one of the central constraints to the
country's economic growth. The negative effects of high fertility
are evident in many aspects of Egyptian life: population
distribution, education, employment and health. Acknowledging that
rapid population growth rates jeopardize all of Egypt's development
efforts, the GOE currently invests substantially in family planning
services. The President and influential religious leaders like the
Grand Mufti and the Pope of the Coptic Church frequently call
attention to the importance of family planning.
Since 1975, USAID has been the largest single donor to Egypt's
family planning program providing about 75% of all donor
assistance. As such, AID's strategy is to assist the GOE in
establishing effective population policies; assure an adequate
supply of contraceptives and related supplies; improve access to
family planning services and information through the public and
private sectors; improve the quality of service delivery and
contraceptive use; and develop program coordination, management and
information systems.
USAID has spent approximately $170 million to establish an
institutional framework for family planning, train Egyptian health
personnel in family planning, promote and distribute contraceptive
methods, provide the neoded research base (both operations and
applied biomedical), and to make quality services more available
and accessible. In 1987, project efforts were reviewed and revised
to put priority on the delivery of quality family planning services
which are acccosible and emphasize longer acting methods.
Documentary evidence from recent evaluations suggests that the
positive achievements of the program are directly associated with
this strategic emphasis. With these successes in expanding
population and family planning programs, a new set of
implementation issues arose. The Population/Family Planning III
Project addresses these issues by building on the successes of
Population/Family Planning II and by utilizing a more focused and
consolidated approach.

HEADLINE: Women rally for equality
SOURCE: AL AHRAM WEEKLY
BODY:
Seeking a better future for women, delegates met in Cairo this week. Rania Khallaf
covers the conference chaired by Mrs Mubarak:
Hundreds of women, including community activists scholars and politicians
gathered in Cairo this week for the First National Women's Conference. Coming from
the country's 26 governorates, the delegates met at Cairo University for the intensive
A
three-day conference on "Egyptian women and the challenges of the 21st century".
Organised by the Egyptian National Women's Council and chaired by Mrs Suzanne
Mubarak, the conference sought solutions that would ensure greater equality for
women and greater participation in politics and national production.
The conference drew to a close last night by issuing a declaration which Mrs
Mubarak read out and which included a series of recommendations designed to
improve women's conditions and remove any legal distinctions between man and
woman.
The conference recommended that all laws be revised to "remove any reference to
man-woman distinctions" but added that this should be done "within the framework
of our religious and ethical values cultural heritage and political, economic and social
conditions".
The conference made particular mention of the personal status law. It said some
articles of this law "should be studied objectively to safeguard the rights of women".
The provisions of marriage and divorce contracts should be revisedand the litigation
process should be made easier to make it possible for women to regain their rights
"within a reasonable period of time", the recommendation said.
Another recommendation emphasised the importance of women's participation in
politics. This, it said, should be accomplished by urging women to register
themselves as voters and by devoting greater attention to their political education.
Combating women's illiteracy was also the subject of attention. The
recommendations said that illiteracy should be viewed as a "principal challenge
facing Egyptian women and that effective methods and a time-plan should be devise
to eradicate illiteracy within the coming years".
The conference declared 16 March of each year as "Egyptian Woman's Day". On
that day in 1919, Egyptian women staged their first demonstration in modern history
to protest the continued British occupation of Egypt. LANGUAGE: ENGLISH

HEADLINE: NGOs pressure governments on global population strategy in Cairo
DATELINE: Cairo, Sept 4
BODY:
Representatives of Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) vowed in
CairoSunday to maintain pressure on governments to implement the draft plan of the
U.N. Conference on Population and Development for a less crowded and more
equitable world.
Several thousand NGO members attended the opening of a parallel forum at
aCairo stadium near where officials from 170 countries, led by Egypt's President
Hosny Mubarak and U.S. Vice President Al Gore, will formally launch the nine-day
U.N. conference on Monday.
The main theme is a new strategy to stabilise the population of the worldwithin
the framework of a global plan for better education, health services and equality for
women.
The packed stadium was addressed by Mrs. Suzanne Mubarak, Mrs. Tipper
Gore, NGO Chairperson Florence Manguyu, Executive Director of the U.N. Population
Fund Mrs. Nafis Sadik, and by two men - Fred Sai, President of the International
Planned Parenthood Federation and Egypt's Planning Minister Maher Mahran, who
both joked about having been nudged to the bottom of the speakers' list.
Manguyu won an ovation from the mainly female audience when she said, in
awavering voice, "that women are deeply hurt and feel betrayed by our men for
failing in the responsibility of providing protection for women and children andby
allowing conflicts in the world
"The world is in our hands," declared Manguyu, insisting that women be givena
full role of partnership in managing the world. "Let us hold hands in friendship and
move forward."
She said the NGOs would see to it that recommendations for equality
andeducation for women were implemented so that females were not given a type of
education that engrains a "subservient role" in their minds.
Mrs. Gore spoke emotionally about her visit to refugees in Rwanda, anAfrican
country which she said represented not only a tragedy but a warning to the rest of
the world.
"No nation dies in isolation," she said. "When the bells toll for a country... the bells
toll for all of us."
Mrs. Sadik castigated groups which alleged that the conference's draftProgramme
of Action was aimed at legalising abortion and spreading sexual education to
facilitate teenage sex.
She said that half a million women died each year from pregnancy-relatedcauses,
99 per cent from them in the developing countries - a ratio of one in 20 as compared
with one in 10,000 in the industrialised world.
Abortion alone accounted for 200 deaths every day, she said, adding that
thedraft's emphasis was on reproductive health, on stopping the "completely
preventable" deaths and on ensuring safe motherhood.
"How can any one in the world be against that from a moral or ethical pointof
view," she asked as the delegates enthusiastically applauded.
Mrs. Mubarak stressed the voluntary nature of birth control campaigns inEgypt
which she said was instrumental in their success. She warned of a "values crisis" in
the world as a result of the switch to high-tech and privatised industries, warning
that this could be exploited by radical groups if proper social safeguards were not
introduced.
Sai said the delegates were confident that the divergent viewpoints at theCairo
conference could be harmonised, "but however harmonious this piece of music is it
will be useless if you do not hold governments committed to it." dpa pt

SCENE SETTER: THE PYRAMIDS
Coffee with Mrs. Suzanne Mubarak
Date: October 26, 1994
The Pyramids, Giza, Egypt
Time: 8:30 a.m.
The Pyramids of Giza, just outside Cairo, are among the
most dramatic and inspiring structures in existence. The only
surviving wonder of the ancient world, they are a symbol of
Egypt. and they evoke a sense of pride for most Egyptians who
regard them as a symbol of continuity and a direct link to
Egypt's glorious past. The Giza complex comprises a total of
nine pyramids as well as the Sphinx. Taken as a whole, Giza is
one of the most impressive sites in the world.
The largest pyramids were built as tombs for three of
Egypt's greatest pharoahs, Cheops, Chefren, and Mykerinos. The
largest DI Great Pyramid of Cheops contained over two million
stone blocks, averaging over 2 1/2 tons apiece. Each side
measures 746 feet at the base, and now stands 450 feet above
ground level. When originally constructed, the Great Pyramid
was covered with a smooth limestone casing, and it stood an
additional 30 feet higher. Carved from a single outcropping of
stone, the Sphinx stands 66 feet high and 210 feet long. The
nose was damaged in Mamluk times, but suffered its greatest
harm when Napolcon's troops used it for target practice. The
six smaller pyramids at Giza were built as tombs for wives and
family members of the pharoahs.

BACKGROUND ON ISRAELI AND JORDANIAN
HEALTH CARE SYSTEMS
In Israel, expenditure on health care is about 8% of GNP; the
average annual per capita expenditure on health care of $372 is
much lower than in most developed countries.
Israel's two main providers of health care are the Ministry of
Health and Kupat Holim or general sick fund. The General
Federation of Labor Unions (Histadrut) management of Kupat Holim
led to financial crisis in 1992, and despite some steps to
control costs, the fund's total debt by 1994 stood at $1.3
billion. Histadrut has successfully opposed government efforts
to sever the link between Histadrut finances and those of Kupat
Holim; government bailouts and a new national health insurance
law (that would generate up to $330 million) still leave the fund
with a large operating deficit. Kupalit Holim covers 80% of the
population and provides prepaid medical hospital, drug, and other
services. The Ministry of Health provides most preventive
components of primary health care, which are available to all,
regardless of health insurance status.
Approximately 25% of services are funded directly by the
government; 15% is funded by the public through prepaid voluntary
insurance plans, and 30% from employers' obligatory contributions
on behalf of their employees; the remainder is received from
payments for private services and from various non-profit
organizations. Major complaints about the system focus on
over-bureaucratization of health care. The recently established
National Health Council is designed to be a forum for interagency
exchange of views and discussion on health needs and priority
programs at national level. There is still a lack of
coordination between services and in the comprehensiveness of
services, especially at the regional and primary care levels.
The quality of health care in Jordan has improved over the last
two decades and is now among the best in the developing world, in
many cases approaching levels in industrialized states. Jordan
dramatically reduced infant mortality, raising life expectancy,
improved rural health services and achieved almost universal
access to clean water.
However the influx after the Gulf War of almost 300,000 returnees
imposed a severe burden on the country's health care facilities.
The government's major challenges include coping with funding
shortfalls in the face of increased demand and lack of
coordination among public institutions that is raising costs and
lowering the quality of care. The government is working on
legislation to provide health insurance to all Jordanian citizens
and improve basic health services. In 1990, public spending on
health services amounted to 6% of GNP.
Jordan has one of the highest population growth rates in the
world (3.4%); consequently, both Jordanian government and U.S.
AID programs focus heavily on population planning and primary
health care.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION FOR
LUNCHEON HOSTED BY
MRS. RUMA WEIZMAN
MRS. LEAH RABIN
DATE: OCTOBER 27, 1994
I. CONTEXT
Mrs. Weizman and Mrs. Rabin are both actively involved
in charitable organizations designed to improve health care
in Israel, especially for women, children, and the elderly.
Israel's health care system is based on a strong social
commitment to universal health coverage that dates back to
&
the period of Jewish settlement of the area in the early
part of the century. Today, both governmental and
non -governmental agencies are active in providing largely
prepaid health care to 95% of the population. In general,
health care compares favorably with West European standards,
and the ratio of physicians to the general population and
life expectancy are among the highest in the world, while
infant mortality is among the lowest.
II. YOUR OBJECTIVES
In the context of the signing of the peace treaty, which
includes a commitment to negotiate a health protocol within
nine months, you could initiate a discussion on the
prospects of moving forward rapidly in this sector. Another
aspect of interest would be the potential impact on national
social welfare programs, especially health care cooperation
between Israel and Jordan. You should seek their views on
what they see 88 the most fruitful areas for future
cooperation. You also might want to discuss priorities for
national health care planning in Israel and offer insights
from your own experience in this area.
III. CORE POINTS
Spending on health care in Israel represents a fairly
modest portion of GNP. Do you believe that current
spending results in adequate levels of health care?
I understand that you have both been very active in
health care initiatives.
From your own experience, what are some of the chief
problems facing the health care system in Israel?

BACKGROUND ON ISRAELI
HEALTH CARE SYSTEM
In Israel, expenditure on health care is about 8% of
GNP; the average annual per capita expenditure on health
care of $372 is much lower than in most developed countries.
Israel's two main providers of health care are the
Ministry of Health and Kupat Holim or general sick fund.
The General Federation of Labor Unions (Histadrut)
management of Kupat Holim led to financial crisis in 1992,
and despite some steps to control costs, the fund's total
debt by 1994 stood at $1.3 billion. Histadrut has
successfully opposed government efforts to sever the link
between Histadrut finances and those of Kupat Holim;
government bailouts and a new national health insurance law
(that would generate up to $330 million) still leave the
fund with a large operating deficit. Kupalit Holim covers
80% of the population and provides prepaid medical hospital,
drug, and other services. The Ministry of Health provides
most preventive components of primary health care, which are
available to all, regardless of health insurance status.
Approximately 25% of services is funded directly by the
government; 15% is funded by the public through prepaid
voluntary insurance plans, and 30% from employers'
obligatory contributions on behalf of their employees; the
remainder is received from payments for private services and
from various non-profit organizations. Major complaints
about the system focus on over-bureaucratization of health
care. The recently established National Health Council is
designed to be a forum for interagency exchange of views and
discussion on health needs and priority programs at national
level. There is still a lack of coordination between
services and in the comprehensiveness of services,
especially at the regional and primary care levels.
