The government of the UAE has pledged around AED 220 million to support the expansion of Egypt’s Magdi Yacoub Heart Foundation, including a new medical complex of the Magdi Yacoub Global Heart Centre in Cairo which will be named in honour of the UAE’s Vice President and the Ruler of Dubai, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid.
The increase in the centre’s capacity will allow for an additional 120,000 outpatients and 12,000 surgeries annually, serving a total of around 132,000 patients a year.
