What is the Unified Procurement Authority (Egypt)?

Egypt's Unified Procurement Authority (UPA) centralises the procurement, pricing and supply of medical products and devices for public health entities, including the Universal Health Insurance scheme.

For providers, this means systems must align to UPA catalogues, coding and supply processes — inventory, purchasing and ERP integrated with centralised procurement and the health scheme.

SBS implements and integrates ERP and hospital inventory/procurement systems to work with UPA processes and catalogues — so public-sector providers stay compliant and supplied.
