Cairo is set to welcome a groundbreaking cardiology center, designed to become a global architectural and scientific landmark. Spearheaded by renowned British architect Lord norman Robert foster, the center is scheduled to open its outpatient clinics in August, with full operations, including surgeries and catheterizations, commencing by the end of the year.
The project, led by Dr. Magdy Yacoub, is not just a hospital but a multifaceted facility spanning 100,000 square meters. It will focus on three core services: medical research, exercise, and training. Equipped with advanced simulators and artificial intelligence, the center aims to train medical professionals not only for Egypt but for the world. “Thes people will be our ambassadors abroad when they say they were trained at the center,” Dr. Yacoub emphasized.
A Hub for Complex Cardiac Care
The center will house 300 beds,including 148 intensive care units,specifically designed to handle highly complex heart surgeries. With a capacity three times greater than the Aswan Heart Centre, it is projected to perform 3,000 open-heart surgeries and 123,000 catheterizations annually.| Feature | Aswan Heart Centre | Cairo Cardiology Center |

| Annual Open-Heart Surgeries | 1,100 | 3,000 |
| Annual Catheterizations | 3,500 | 123,000 |
| Intensive Care Beds | N/A | 148 |
Free Treatment, Funded by Solidarity
One of the center’s most remarkable aspects is its commitment to providing free treatment. Despite the high costs of procedures like stents, which are purchased in dollars or euros, patients will not pay a single penny. “The most crucial need in this entire system is that you treat the patient for free and without placing his hand in his pocket,” Dr.Yacoub stated. This principle, already in place in Aswan, will be replicated in Cairo, thanks to the generosity of the Egyptian people, who donate to support their fellow citizens.
A Vision for the Future
The Cairo center is poised to become a global training hub, leveraging cutting-edge technology to prepare medical professionals for complex cardiac care. Its architectural brilliance,combined with its humanitarian mission,makes it a symbol of hope and innovation.
As Dr. Yacoub aptly put it, “We are nothing more than a means to facilitate service between the donor and the needy.”
