OUR MISSION
OUR VISION
Since its establishment in 2008, MYF has committed to building and maintaining a state-of-the-art cardiac care facility in the city of Aswan, Egypt to provide high-quality treatment to the underprivileged. AHC aims primarily to provide free medical care services, as well as advanced training programs for personnel, including nurses, doctors and technicians. Moreover, AHC dedicates effort and resources to the Research Department, which touches on a wide variety of research opportunities, including Bio-Engineering and Life Sciences, to improve our medical care and ensure an advanced, well-rounded treatment experience for the patient.
The Aswan Heart Centre offers an exciting new development in cardiovascular surgery, treatment and research, and seeks to transfer knowledge, skills and experience to new generations and across the region. We also aim to help create a biomedical and innovation knowledge-base, which can be passed on and benefit the world at large.
In line with this vision, the Magdi Yacoub Heart Foundation has recently embarked on an exceptionally big and ambitious project that is of dire significance to the health and well-being of the people in Egypt and the region. The Magdi Yacoub Global Heart Centre is set to advance cardiac care and treatment, as well as widen our scope for training and expand our capacity for research.
Our core objective with building the Magdi Yacoub Global Heart Centre in Cairo is establishing a centre of excellence and international standing, to provide high-quality cardiac treatment at absolutely no cost, thus improving the level of medical care presented to children, youth, and adults in the region, with hopes to save as many hearts and solve as many complex cases as possible, all while offering training and performing ground-breaking research that will benefit generations to come
