Arab Finance: The EFG Foundation for Social Development joined forces with Bank NXT Foundation and Valu to expand the care capacity of Ahl Masr Burn Hospital through a targeted donation of medical equipment and infrastructure, according to a press release.
The three institutions will team up to reinforce healthcare outcomes in Egypt by investing in critical medical infrastructure and enhancing the conditions in which patients receive care.
Ahl Masr Burn Hospital is the first specialized non-profit burn hospital in the Middle East and Africa, which delivers comprehensive treatment, rehabilitation, and psychological support to burn patients, irrespective of their financial circumstances.
