Cairo, Egypt – Global Medical City (GMC), the first fully-integrated medical city in Cairo, signed a cooperation agreement with Misr El Kheir Foundation, Egypt’s renowned NGO that supports the community through health, education, scientific research, social solidarity, life aspects, and integrated development. The cooperation agreement will see the Foundation send health-related referrals to GMC while also further strengthening partnerships across the healthcare system in line with Egypt’s Vision 2030 to ensure all Egyptians have a healthy, safe and secure life through an integrated, accessible, high quality healthcare system, which will lead to prosperity, welfare, happiness, as well as social and economic development.

Under this agreement, GMC will offer referrals from Misr El Kheir Foundation special offerings on select medical services including consultant examinations in outpatient clinics, renal dialysis, endoscopy service, and select local and imported medicines at GMC’s integrated medical facility.

The signing ceremony of the partnership was attended by Dr. Mohamed Ayyad, CEO of GMC; Mr. Kareem Mekawy, Executive Director of Thiqqa General Trading, which runs and operates Global Medial City (GMC); and Mrs. Afaf El Gohary, Director of Health Sector in Misr El Kheir.

“Driven by our deep sense of social responsibility, the partnership with GMC and Misr El Kheir foundation to support vulnerable communities aligns with our shared values. We are always targeting partnerships and opportunities to support and empower the Egyptian society in order to promote healthcare accessibility to everyone,” said Mr. Kareem Mekawy, Executive Director of Thiqqa Trading. “We will continue working closely with various parties as part of GMC’s long-term commitment to advance Egypt's healthcare sector to help ensure more patients are treated in accordance with the highest quality medical services and patient care.”

“Providing our community with world-class healthcare is at the heart of GMC’s mission,” said Dr. Mohamed Ayyad, CEO of Global Medical City. “We are proud to partner with Misr El Kheir Foundation as we believe in the significant role of the private sector to engage in collaborations that contribute positively to the overall community. Through this partnership, we aim to create an impact on society through a scalable and sustainable platform that is capable of changing peoples’ lives.”
