In 2015, the construction of an expansion to the main building had been planned to accommodate the increasing number of patients; the annex building of 1,300 square meters consisting of two cellars and three floors was inaugurated in February 2017. Studio Altieri and RBSD, New York, developed the architectural designs of the building. Medhat Abu Zeid’s Office (MZECH) supervised the construction and advisory group Shaker (SCG) oversaw the building’s electro-mechanics.

Dar Al Fouad’s project in Nasr City is part of a continuous process of leadership, confidence and safety. The project is a majestic medical building with an area of 65,190 square meters, consisting of the hospital and a tower of private clinics attached to it, with a total budget exceeding one billion Egyptian pounds. The project was designed by RBSD, New York, an American design office specializing in medical architecture, and designed more than 189 medical projects around the world. The project is distinguished by its unique location in Nasr City, East of Cairo. Its location is close to the main axes of the area such as Salah Salem Street leading to Heliopolis, Cairo International Airport which is only 15 minutes away from the project, the 6th of October Bridge leading to the city center and the ring road leading to New Cairo and Maadi.

Operation of DAF's Oncology Center in Affiliation with Hartmann Oncology Institute, Paris

DAF has launched the most advanced oncology center in Egypt in February 2017. The center offers a full range of medical services to cancer patients under one roof:

• Combined Oncology Clinics: The cancer patient is consulted by the oncology physician and the oncosurgeon during the same session and the treatment protocol is designed by both doctors and tailored for each patient individually.
• Full investigations are available in the same place: PET CT, MRI, Regular CT and Pathological Evaluation.
• An entire unit is dedicated for the administration of chemotherapeutics and targeted therapy under the direct supervision of the oncology consultant.
• An up-to-date radiation unit with a cutting-edge linear accelerator.

Dar Al Fouad’s Orthopaedic department is focused on conditions and treatments related to Pediatric Orthopaedics, Hand and Upper Extremity, Musculoskeletal Tumors, Foot and Ankle, Joint Replacement and Adult Reconstructive Surgery, Sports Medicine, and Spine Health.

One of Dar Al Fouad’s biggest strengths is the level of care provided in the critical care areas. The hospitals has different specialized intensive care units:

• Medical ICU
• Surgical ICU
• Cardiac ICU
• Neuro ICU
• Neonatal ICU

The critical care facilities in Dar Al Fouad allows dealing with critically ill patients from various disciplines including trauma, respiratory failure, cardiac surgeries, liver and kidney transplantations, pediatric surgeries and mutli-organ failures.

Accreditation of Dar Al Fouad's Stroke Unit

In November 2017, Dar Al Fouad’s stroke unit has become the first of its kind Egypt to be accredited by the Joint Commission International (JCI). Stroke is one of the leading causes of mortality and the number one cause of chronic disability in the world. Due to the high prevalence of many risk factors for stroke among Egypt’s population – including diabetes, obesity, high cholesterol, hypertension and inactivity – the incidence of stroke is high. The JCI accreditation follows significant recent improvements in care for stroke patients with an outstanding achievement of a 37-minute window between the stroke patient’s arrival and the administration of the TPA. The multi-disciplinary nature of the care has contributed greatly to ensuring stroke patients in Dar Al Fouad receive the safest, most effective and compassionate care. The extensive team involved in the treatment for each stroke patient is central to the multi-disciplinary care patients receive. Stroke neurologists, rehabilitation physicians, stroke nurses, allied health professionals, stroke coordinators and clinical nurse specialists all provide their expertise to shape the treatment plan according to each patient’s individual needs.
