	D-959    Egypt - Alexandria Children Open Heart Surgeries $24,000 To sponsor (18) Alexandrian Children for "Open Heart Surgeries" which are highly needed for the very poor Orphans cases. This is in cooperation with "Kaser al Einy Hospital" (Abou Al-Reech Pediatric Hospital) which is a University Governmental Hospital in Cairo. The cost of each operation is around 7,600 Egyptian pounds/patient (around 1,333 US$). It consists mainly of medical parts and tools used in the operating room and the ICU Unit. Taking into consideration that all Hospital operations expenses are in minimum cost especially for this project which is needed for sick Orphans Children. * How the project will benefit the community: It is known that every 1,000 healthy new born, there is (8 babies) that have one form or another of heart diseases half of which will need cardiac surgery (4 babies). If we assume that number of birth in Egypt is from 1.50 to 1.87 millions per year, this means that we have 12,000 to 15,000 kids having heart disease born every year and 6,000 to 7,500 in urgent need for the surgery. This project is highly needed to help the sick Orphans children who needs the Open Heart Surgeries in order to decrease their percentage in our community poor areas. Cardiac surgery is an expensive life saving surgery, as it is really worth to know that the cured child is a healthy child. You must also note that 10-20% of these patients die waiting for surgery or because they are not diagnosed in the right time, and many of these kids urgently need the surgery in their first two years of life. We as Rotarians have a target to help those kids as much as we can to make the operation on the right time. In order to help putting a smile on as many sick Orphans children as we can, we are organizing this Matching Grant for this purpose. * Estimated length of time to complete the project = 1 year Primary Host Partner in the Project Country Club: Alexandria El-Nozha District: 2450 Primary Contact: Mohamed Loutfy Hegazy Email: elnozharc@link.net Check all projects from: [District 2450] [Alexandria El-Nozha Rotary Club] [Mohamed Loutfy Hegazy] Primary International Partner Outside the Project Country We are looking for a Club partner.
