Youssef Mansour, Chairman of the Mansour Group, has announced his support for the Ayady association over the next five years to contribute to the development of the Ayady Hospital, which specializes in treating oncology. The NGO has established a hospital that treats all ages and types of cancerous tumors, free of charge for those who cannot afford it.
Since 2004, the hospital has been established with contributions from a group of donors, and the current value of the association’s investments now exceeds 600 million pounds, represented in equipment and facilities on an area of 8,400 square meters at the entrance to the city of Alexandria, serving all governorates.
The hospital has treated approximately 68,839 cancer cases since its establishment, with the help of thirty university professors and oncology consultants who provide medical supervision free of charge to those who are financially unable to pay. The NGO has also established the Department of Internal Reservation and Palliative Treatment, consisting of 45 beds and 5 intensive care beds for patients, and allocating 20 of them for palliative treatment, for advanced cases that other hospitals refuse to receive.
Among the hospital’s departments is the chemotherapy department, which receives 100 patients daily for chemotherapy sessions. The hospital also conducted 54,983 radiotherapy sessions in 2021 for about 2,647 patients. During the same year, the laboratory conducted 197,188 analyses, and the number of patients visiting the laboratory was 38,370. The Social Research Department conducted 2,576 new social studies during the year 2021/2020.
Given the achievements made by the hospital and the NGO, Youssef Mansour has pledged to provide substantial support to the NGO over the next five years. The Mansour Group calls on all businessmen and institutions interested in supporting social and health issues to provide contributions to expand the scope of work to include the treatment of the largest possible number of oncology patients nationwide.
The Mansour Group’s support for the Ayady association and its hospital is a testament to their commitment to providing quality healthcare for all. The NGO’s work in treating oncology patients free of charge has made a significant impact on the lives of many people in Egypt. With the support of Youssef Mansour and others, the NGO will continue to provide critical healthcare services to those who need it most.
