Egyptian actor Sameh Hussein has left the hospital, the Saudi outlet Okaz reported on Friday, 25 September 2026. The report was published under a headline asking what he said in his first message after his release. Okaz did not include the text of that message in the material available.
The story appeared in Okaz's coverage alongside a separate item about Saudi Arabia winning a radio award at the 26th Arab Festival in Tunisia. Other outlets in the same roundup reported that MBC Egypt took two prizes at the Arab Radio and Television Festival in Tunis, that actress Wafaa Amer wept while being honoured at the Carthage festival, and that Hanin Al-Shatir performed a song there. None of those items relate to Hussein's health or his statement.
Hussein is a well-known figure in Egyptian entertainment, though the reporting summarized here gives no details about the reason for his hospital stay, how long he was admitted, or where he was treated. Okaz's headline indicates he issued a message once discharged, but the content of that message was not available in the summary.
Because the available reporting is limited to the fact of his discharge and the existence of a first message, further specifics cannot be confirmed at this stage. Readers should watch for the full text of Hussein's statement and any follow-up from his representatives or the hospital.
