Magdi Yacoub Global Heart Centre: Nature-Infused Healthcare in Egypt

Magdi Yacoub Global Heart Centre: Nature and the Soul of Egypt

The Magdi Yacoub Global Heart Centre, designed by Foster + Partners and founded by world-renowned cardiac surgeon, Sir Magdi Yacoub, is changing how we look at Healthcare in Africa and the rest of the world. More than just a hospital it offers a holistic approach where state-of-the-art medicine is complemented by the healing properties of Nature against the backdrop of the Giza pyramids.

🌿

In keeping with a philosophy of healing through Nature, the centre features large atrium areas throughout the interior of the building filled with natural light as well as gardens and terraces that create peaceful environments for patients and staff to use for relaxation. The design of the building is fluid and streamlined, but has been strategically laid out to maximise medical efficiency and improve patient journey throughout their stay by creating a more human-centred hospital experience.

The centre will be located adjacent to Zewail City of Science and Technology and will form part of a larger integrated medical and research facility. The well thought out location will provide patients treated at the centre; the ability to have a world-class facility in view of the Giza

Pyramids as well as access to a peaceful environment surrounded by Shade and beautiful landscaping.

💚

The centre is committed to providing world-class cardiac care to all Egyptians at no cost; thus bridging the gap between the needs of the local populations and the expertise available on a global level. The hospital has been designed to accommodate 300 patients and provide comfort to patients, families and the medical staff. The main entrance is located on the south side of the building and features a tree-lined walkway leading to a structurally impressive entrance canopy. The ground floor of the hospital will have all the state-of-the-art technology available in today’s healthcare facilities.
