   Egypt - Alexandria

One Day Operation Room

$20,000

Egyptian hospitals are faced with a large number of poor patients that are admitted for a one day surgery and face huge financial burden if they choose private sector hospitals, the fact that makes free health care hospitals under great pressure and continuous need to expand to absorb such a growing number of patients,

El Miri Hospital – Alexandria University is one of the biggest hospitals that serve the north west geographical area of Egypt, mainly Alexandria and Beheira with a total population of about 15 million.

Recently El Miri Hospital decided to expand its DAY CASE SURGERY CENTER to include 50 new beds and 4 DAY CASE OPERTING ROOMS. Each room is expected to serve about 600 cases annually, 25% of total patients traffic of about 2400 every year.

Our project targets to totally furnish one of the operating rooms with all needed equipments namely:

Surgical Monitor

Operating table

Anesthesia unit

Illumination unit operation

Diathermy unit

Aspirations 2 and 4 liters.

Total Cost of project is around $55000.

RC of Alexandria Metropolitan has actually started to exert a lot of effort to fundraise for it's share of contribution planned to reach $5000 and as soon as we receive notice of potential sponsor clubs, we will immediately contact suppliers for more accurate and updated Performa invoices.

Members of the RC of Alexandria Metropolitan hopes that the proposed project be well received and confirms readiness and willingness to share any more details and information with any sponsor club.

We would greatly appreciate to further have an idea regarding the DDF of the potential sponsor clubs to better calculate the financing needs and TRF matching required.

Status and Progress Information

Dropped

This project has been dropped. This is probably due to the loss of contact with the Coordinating Club. Project listed for the 2009-10 Rotary Year.

This is a big health care project that serves a very large number of patients and the contribution of 3 or 4 sponsor clubs would be greatly appreciated.
