The hospital, owned by the Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources and established, equipped, and operated by the Cleopatra Hospitals Group, reflects the government’s strategy to leverage private-sector expertise in managing and operating healthcare facilities in line with the highest international standards, within the framework of Egypt Vision 2030.
Madbouly said the government is moving ahead with developing healthcare services nationwide in line with directives from President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi, stressing strong cooperation with the domestic and foreign private sector to improve service quality, expand coverage—particularly in underserved areas—and ensure the financial and operational sustainability of new projects.
The opening ceremony was attended by Khaled Abdel-Ghaffar, Deputy Prime Minister for Human Development and Minister of Health and Population; Mohamed Awad Taj El-Din, the president’s adviser for health and prevention; several ministers and governors; senior healthcare officials; and executives of the Cleopatra Hospitals Group.
Abdel-Ghaffar said expanding PPPs in healthcare is essential to supporting national health initiatives and improving public health indicators, noting that the new hospital represents a qualitative addition through its reliance on advanced medical and digital technologies, including artificial intelligence applications in diagnosis and treatment and data-driven health management systems.
Badawi said the opening comes at a critical time as Egypt intensifies efforts to upgrade medical infrastructure, improve service quality, adopt modern therapeutic technologies, and deepen effective partnerships with the private sector to enhance efficiency and ease burdens on citizens.
The hospital includes around 240 rooms, 48 intensive care beds, seven operating theatres, two catheterization laboratories, and two endoscopy units, and offers more than 40 medical subspecialties.
It also features several centres of excellence, including trauma and accident care; cardiac services covering cardiology, cardiac and vascular surgery, and cardiac intensive care; renal services encompassing urology, nephrology, and dialysis; and neurology and neurosurgery with rehabilitation services.
Outpatient care is delivered through bundled services that bring clinics and diagnostics together in one location, covering ophthalmology, cardiology, nephrology, obstetrics and gynaecology, pulmonology, paediatrics, ENT, dentistry, orthopaedics, and physiotherapy.
The facility includes fully private intensive-care rooms, a 25-bed emergency department staffed by accredited consultants around the clock, a comprehensive blood bank, and dedicated paediatric facilities covering 11 subspecialties in a child-friendly environment.
