TL;DR
Contact the insurance Assistance service immediately (number is in your policy) or file a claim through your bank's app, then consult a doctor via WhatsApp or a telemedicine Telegram bot.
Through the issuing bank's app (e.g., T-Bank), you can file an insurance claim, then get contacted via WhatsApp — a doctor can issue a prescription remotely without an in-person clinic visit.
There's a separate Telegram bot for telemedicine under the insurance plan, allowing a doctor consultation without visiting a hospital in person.
Coverage terms vary even within the same bank's insurance products, so it's best to check with support beforehand to confirm exactly what's covered and up to what amount.
The emergency Assistance phone number for Egypt is usually printed directly in the insurance policy document — save it to your phone before the trip so you're not searching for it in an emergency.
