British occupation in 1882, not earlier mismanagement, ended Egypt’s indigenous health establishment.

Evidence

In a similar fashion a recent study of the history of health care in nineteenth-century Egypt effectively dismisses the serious problems that the Pasha and his top medical advisors faced when they attempted to found a modern medical institution. These problems, it is argued, were practically and perceptively ironed out thanks to the Pasha’s determination and genius; the study concludes by saying that it was only the advent of the British in 1882 that destroyed the indigenous health establishment by forcing it to shift from treating the local population to serving the much smaller and essentially elitist colonial community. — Khaled Fahmy, All the Pasha_s Men_ Mehmed Ali, his…, 96
