Our members are always proud to visit 57357 Children’s Cancer Hospital as a witness to its success in alleviating the pain of children suffering from cancer in a humanitarian endeavor free of charge.
Due to Covid-19 regulations, very small groups of members alternated in visiting one of the treatment departments and presented gifts to 150 children undergoing treatment on October 21, 2020 and gave comfort to their parents bringing many smiles to their faces.
Professor Dr. Sherif Abou Al-Naga, CEO of 57357, the visionary behind founding the hospital since it was established in 2007 explained to our members the history, the vision and practices of the hospital in a thorough presentation taking us through the achievements and challenges of the treatment of patients as well as their hopes and dreams. Presently, the hospital is recording a 71.4% average overall survival rate. Its new system of healthcare management utilizes the most scientific approaches, advanced research and the highest technology in cancer treatment in the world and ongoing advanced training for doctors and nursing staff. 57357 was funded entirely by donations.
