3. what is 500500 hospital?
• A non-profit organization that aims to fund and build the new National Cancer
Institute .
• A comprehensive hospital that provides diagnosis and treatment for all types
of cancer and all age groups, as well as general medical specialties.
• A leading institution in education, training, research and community service in
the field of oncology in the Middle East.

4. How did it start?
• The project was inspired by the
success story of the old National
Cancer Institute, which was
established in 1969 as the first and
largest oncology center in Egypt,
Africa and the Middle East.
• The project was launched in 2015
under the slogan “500500”, which
means that each Egyptian can donate
500 Egyptian pounds to build the
new hospital with a total cost of 500
million pounds.

5. Cost
• The cost of building the NCI's
headquarters and campus in
Bethesda, Maryland, USA, was
approximately $110 million in the
1980s.
• In terms of operating costs, the NCI's
annual budget in fiscal year 2021 was
approximately $6.5 billion. This
budget supports a wide range of
activities, including basic and
translational research, clinical trials,
training and career development
programs, and cancer control and
prevention efforts.

6. Why is it
important
?
Cancer is a major health problem that
threatens the lives of hundreds of
thousands of Egyptians.
The new hospital will be the largest cancer
hospital in the world, with a capacity of
1,000 beds and 12 operating rooms.
The new hospital will offer free medical
care for all cancer patients, regardless of
their financial status or social background.

7. Aim
1-Providing distinguished education
2-Providing a distinguished level of integrated
medical care in an educational and research
environment.
3- Scientific research in the causes and methods
of prevention and treatment of tumors.
4-Community service by developing general
policies for combating and treating tumors and
raising awareness of them

500500
Hospital

9. Departments
1. Center for Cancer Research: This center conducts
basic and clinical research on cancer, with a focus
on understanding the underlying biology of cancer
and developing new treatments.
2. Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics:
This division conducts research on the causes and
risk factors for cancer, as well as genetic factors that
may influence cancer development.
3. Division of Cancer Prevention: This division
focuses on preventing cancer through research on
lifestyle and environmental factors that may
contribute to cancer risk, as well as developing
interventions to reduce cancer risk.

10. Departments
4. Division of Cancer Treatment and Diagnosis: This
division conducts research on new cancer treatments
and methods for diagnosing cancer, as well as
developing clinical trials to test new treatments.
5. Office of Cancer Clinical Proteomics Research: This
office focuses on developing new methods for
analyzing proteins in cancer cells, which can provide
insights into the underlying biology of cancer and
improve cancer diagnosis and treatment.
6. Office of Cancer Genomics: This office conducts
research on the genetic basis of cancer, with a focus
on identifying genetic mutations that may contribute
to cancer development and progression.

11. Devices
1. Imaging equipment:
This includes devices such as X-ray
machines, CT scanners, magnetic
resonance imaging (MRI) machines,
positron emission tomography (PET)
scanners, and ultrasound machines.
These devices are used to help
diagnose cancer, monitor treatment
progress, and guide surgical
procedures.

12. Devices
2. Radiation therapy equipment:
This includes devices such as linear
accelerators, which are used to
deliver high-energy radiation to
cancer cells to destroy them. The
NCI supports the development and
testing of new radiation therapy
techniques and equipment.

13. Devices
3. Surgical tools:
The NCI supports the development
and testing of new surgical tools
and techniques, including
minimally invasive procedures and
robotic-assisted surgery.

14. Devices
4. Laboratory equipment:
This includes devices such as
microscopes, centrifuges, and
spectrometers, which are used
to study cancer at the cellular
and molecular level.

15. Devices
5. Wearable devices:
The NCI is exploring the use of
wearable devices, such as fitness
trackers and smartwatches, to collect
data on patients' physical activity and
other health metrics. This data can
be used to better understand how
physical activity affects cancer risk
and treatment outcomes.

16. Facilities and Technology
• 500500 Hospital boasts of world-class facilities
and advanced technology that ensure the best possible
outcomes for patients. The hospital has state-of-the-art
operating rooms equipped with the latest surgical
instruments and equipment.
• It also has a modern imaging department that
includes MRI, CT scan, ultrasound, and X-ray machines.
The laboratory is equipped with the latest diagnostic
tools and equipment, ensuring accurate and timely
results.

18. The rooms
• The internal section can accommodate 1000 beds.
• There are also buildings for outpatient clinics, one-day
treatment and diagnostic departments with a capacity
of 600 beds, which makes the number of patients
expected to receive free medical services in the
outpatient departments about 5,000 patients per day.
• Thus, about one and a half million patients annually.

19. Oncology
outpatient clinics
Emergency medicine is of
paramount importance to cancer
patients, and therefore it was
planned to have 80 outpatient
clinics for oncology emergencies.
These clinics aim to serve 350
patients per day, with a total of
100,000 patients annually.

20. Clinical pharmacy
The largest clinical pharmacy and the first of its kind
in Egypt was established in order to provide
appropriate and safe treatment for all cases, and to
ensure that doses are adjusted and all side effects
associated with chemotherapy are controlled, which
ensures high chances of recovery and fewer chances
for the disease to return again.

21. Palliative
treatment
building for
late cases
An additional building was specially designed for
terminally ill cancer patients, with a capacity of
40 beds, characterized by palliative treatment,
by providing pain medications that contribute to
alleviating their suffering, as well as providing
psychological support for them and their
families.

22. Operations
rooms
• The project includes 63
modern operating
rooms. We aim to
perform approximately
47,250 major surgeries
and minor surgical
interventions annually.

23. Center for
Advanced
Cancer
Research
Hospital 500 500 is based on scientific research
and innovation, so we had to establish our own
center, which includes laboratory research
laboratories that cover all sciences related to
prevention, diagnosis and treatment of tumors,
and includes an integrated facility that relies on
animals for pharmaceutical and surgical
experiments.

24. Future Plans
• 500500 Hospital is constantly striving to improve
its facilities and services to meet the evolving needs
of the community. The hospital plans to expand its
services to include new specialties and treatments.
• The hospital also plans to invest in new technology
and infrastructure to enhance the patient
experience and improve outcomes. Additionally, the
hospital aims to continue its community outreach
efforts and build stronger partnerships with local
organizations.
