The coup leaders settled down to tackle the issue of public health. They introduced fundamental social reforms. For example, free medical services were opened to all Egyptians. Number of medial doctors were increased to handle public health.

The revolutionary leaders were critically aware of the need to have an educated Egyptian population. Social, economic and political development i.e. strength of a nation rests on education.

Muslim and non-Muslim religious courts were banned in 1956. All cases were now referred to the secular or government courts. This was an attempt by the revolution to unify the administration and the execution of justice in Egypt.

Respect for women improved in the years following the revolution. The National Charter of 1962 provided for the equality between men and women.

Egyptian cultural revival was ushered in. Cultural plays based on Arabic values were reactivated in the Egyptian theatres.
