Cleopatra Hospitals Group will develop its 2 billion Egyptian pounds ($41 million) Sky Hospital project, located in Fifth Settlement in New Cairo, in two phases, the company's Managing Director said.

Ahmed Ezz told Zawya Projects that the 40-bed first phase will also include a radiology centre, an emergency department, operating rooms, and a pharmacy.

The second phase will expand the capacity to 254 beds, he said on the sidelines of a press conference to announce the Group’s partnership with Novartis Egypt to support patients with arteriosclerosis.

The 4-storey hospital is being developed over an area of 40,000 square metres, he said, adding that Phase 1 is scheduled to open in August 2025.

The company will also be taking up expansion of Cleopatra October, located in Western Cairo and adding more outpatient clinics in the near future.
