About
Real-world data detailing over 1,000 physicians practising in Egypt, sourced from an online appointment booking platform. The dataset offers granular metrics on doctor specialisation, patient fees, average ratings, and clinic locations. This resource is valuable for understanding the distribution and characteristics of the Egyptian medical community, particularly relevant following reports on the emigration of Egyptian doctors to international systems like the UK.
Columns
The dataset contains 10 columns, including identifiers and medical metrics:
- Source: Not considered important for analysis.

- specialization: The medical field or focus of the doctor (e.g., Dentist, Gynaecologist). Forty unique specialisations are noted.
- fees: The cost of a doctor's appointment, often expressed in Egyptian Pounds (EGP). Fees of 200 EGP and 300 EGP are among the most common.
- avg_rate: The doctor’s average rating provided by patients. The mean rating is high, approximately 4.76, with ratings clustered between 4.50 and 5.00.
- waiting_time: The typical waiting duration for an appointment, with times like 8 minutes and 15 minutes being frequent examples.

The data is structured as a CSV file, 'Egyptian Doctors Data.csv', with a file size of 157.26 kB. It contains 1,210 unique records, offering details across 10 distinct variables. Specific counts for rows or records are available through the detailed column summaries.
Usage
This data is highly suitable for practical exercises in data cleaning, data analysis, and data visualisation. Ideal applications include:
- Patient Perspective Analysis: Analysing factors important to patients, such as clinic locations, consultation fees, and doctor ratings.
- Healthcare Market Research: Investigating questions relevant to physicians or businesses, such as optimal clinic locations, fee setting strategies, and typical patient waiting times.
- Geographical Studies: Determining the distribution of doctors across different Egyptian governorates (provinces) and assessing the number of doctors per capita in these regions.
- Specialty Insight: Identifying the most common specialties and understanding the average years of experience or consultation fees associated with each specialty.
Coverage
The scope of the data focuses solely on physicians practicing within Egypt. The geographic coverage allows for analysis down to the governorate level.
