Rights and the integrated services card

Public, factual guidance on the main rights of persons with disabilities in Egypt and on the integrated services card.

Law No. 10 of 2018

The law on the rights of persons with disabilities: it protects their rights in health, education, work, accessibility, social protection and access to justice, and forbids discrimination because of disability.

The 5% employment quota

State bodies and every employer with 20 or more workers must employ persons with disabilities at 5% of their workforce. Ask about quota vacancies at the labour office in your governorate.

The integrated services card

Issued by the Ministry of Social Solidarity after a medical assessment, the card proves the disability and gives access to the services and benefits set by law.

How to apply
  1. Register the request with your national ID through the Ministry of Social Solidarity (its official website or the social solidarity office near you).
  2. Attend the medical assessment at the approved hospital on the date you are given.
  3. When the assessment is approved, the card is issued and you are told how and where to receive it.

This is general public information, not legal advice. Requirements can change: always check the official website of the Ministry of Social Solidarity or your governorate's directorate.
