A focused response to one of Egypt's most urgent pediatric health needs.

Ayesh Hospital was founded in 2015 by medical specialists and philanthropists determined to improve access to congenital heart surgery for children.

Since opening, the hospital has treated more than 1,500 complex and high-risk cases. Its operating model is designed to cover day-to-day care through service revenue rather than depend on recurring donations for operating costs.

This model gives Ayesh a strong base for expansion: philanthropic and institutional capital can focus on building new capacity while the clinical operation remains designed for sustainability.

Three decades of service. One clear next step.

The expansion is a continuation of an established institution, not a first-time start-up.

International supporters visiting Ayesh Hospital

Capital builds capacity. Clinical services sustain operations.

The existing hospital reports financial independence through service revenue, demonstrating an operating model that can continue beyond donation cycles.

The expansion applies external capital to infrastructure, advanced technology and scale. This separation between construction capital and operating revenue is central to Ayesh's long-term plan.
