The total allocation for the grants amounts to EGP 364.46 million, sourced from the ministry's central account for health and social care for irregular workers, as per a Cabinet statement.

The grants will be disbursed starting Thursday afternoon through post office branches, with recipients required to present a national ID card for verification.

In addition to financial aid, compensation for injury or death, and periodic grants, the ministry is working with relevant authorities to expand healthcare coverage for this vulnerable workforce.
