EFG Foundation Partners with Minia University to Enhance Dialysis Care in Minia, Bringing Life-Saving Care to Hundreds

 

EFG Foundation for Social Development (EFG Foundation), a non-profit, non-governmental organization dedicated to sustainable, high-impact development initiatives, is proud to announce that it has successfully completed two major initiatives to enhance dialysis care at Minia University Hospital. These projects, executed through strategic partnerships with Minia University, address the region’s critical shortage of dialysis services, benefiting both pediatric and adult patients.

Recognizing the acute need for pediatric dialysis services in Minia, the EFG Foundation undertook a comprehensive renovation and expansion of the pediatric dialysis ward at Minia University Hospitalfollowing a devastating fire that severely impacted the facility, leaving countless children without access to life-saving treatment. The Foundation’s efforts included complete renovation and expansion, restoring destroyed areas, adding a new ward, and creating fully functional dialysis treatment areas from previously idle spaces. Equipment upgrades included replacing destroyed dialysis machines, repairing salvageable units, and installing new dialysis units. Enhanced patient care was achievedby introducing ICU beds, ventilators, monitors, laboratory equipment, and specialized pediatric dialysis beds. Safety was reinforced with the installation of a modern fire safety system. These improvements increased the facility’s capacity to accommodate75 children per month to approximately 107 additional children, expanding annual dialysis sessions by 15,330. An uplifting environment was created by decorating the ward with a mural painted by employees’ children and creating a dedicated space for medical staff.

Hanaa Helmy, Group Chief Sustainability Officer of EFG Holding and CEO of the EFG Foundation, said, “Our goal was to restore essential services and significantly elevatethe quality of care for children suffering from chronic kidney disease. By enhancing the facility and creating a more comfortable environment, we provide hope and better outcomes for these young patients.”

Mona Zulficar, Chairperson of EFG Holding and the EFG Foundation, stated,”At EFG Foundation, we believe that healthcare is a fundamental right, not a privilege. Through our ongoing initiatives, we are committed to enhancing medical infrastructure and expanding access to life-saving treatments in underserved areas.Our partnership with Minia University Hospital is a testament to our dedication to sustainable healthcare solutions that have a lasting impact on communities in need.”

Building on the success of the pediatric initiative, the EFG Foundation extended its efforts to address the growing need for adult dialysis services in Minia. The foundation established a new facility equipped with seven state-of-the-art dialysis machines, providing an additional 7,644 dialysis sessions annually and reducing patient waiting times. Infrastructure enhancementswereachieved by maintaining and enhancing the hospital’s water pump station to support the increased patient capacity. A new state-of-the-art laboratory was established to serve the entire hospital, improving diagnostic accuracy and treatment efficiency. The facility underwent further upgrades,including renovating the ward with antibacterial tiling, an upgraded air conditioning system, and a modern fire safety system.

Helmyadded, “With over 60,000 dialysis patients in Egypt and a high concentration in Minia, we must invest in sustainable healthcare infrastructure. Expanding the adult dialysis ward and establishing a modern laboratory ensures that more patients receive timely and high-quality care.”

These initiatives underscore the EFG Foundation’s unwavering commitment to improving healthcare access in underserved communities, ensuring that residents of Minia receive the life-saving dialysis treatment they need.
