The EFG Foundation for Social Development (EFG Foundation), a non-profit, non-governmental organization dedicated to driving sustainable, high-impact development initiatives, today announced a joint contribution with Bank NXT Foundation and Valu to expand the care capacity of Ahl Masr Burn Hospital through a targeted donation of medical equipment and infrastructure.
The collaboration unites three institutions with a shared commitment to strengthening healthcare outcomes in Egypt by investing in critical medical infrastructure and improving the conditions in which patients receive care. Together, they are directing their support toward Ahl Masr Burn Hospital, the first specialized non-profit burn hospital in the Middle East and Africa, which delivers comprehensive treatment, rehabilitation, and psychological support to burn patients, irrespective of their financial circumstances.
As part of this initiative, the joint contribution will fund the complete fit-out of a dedicated inpatient room, providing a safe, well-equipped, and patient-centered environment designed to improve recovery conditions and strengthen the hospital’s capacity to treat a greater number of patients. The donation further includes a NanoDrop Spectrophotometer, a precision diagnostic instrument used to measure DNA and RNA concentration and assess protein purity, bolstering the hospital’s molecular diagnostics capabilities, laboratory operations, and clinical research endeavors.
Hanaa Helmy, Group Chief Sustainability Officer of EFG Holding and CEO of EFG Foundation, said, “This initiative reflects our deep commitment to elevating healthcare standards across Egypt and empowering non-profit organizations to extend their reach and impact. By investing in both patient care infrastructure and advanced diagnostic capabilities, we hope to meaningfully reduce the physical and psychological burden faced by burn patients and enable Ahl Masr Burn Hospital to serve a greater number of individuals with the quality of care they deserve.”
Karim Wahba, Head of Marketing and Corporate Branding of Bank NXT, said,
“We are pleased to be part of this impactful collaboration that supports Ahl Masr Burn Hospital’s efforts in delivering specialized care to burn patients. The partnership demonstrates our commitment to strengthening healthcare services and our contribution to the well-being of our communities. It also reflects the importance of collective action in addressing critical healthcare needs and creating meaningful, sustainable impact”.
Salma Abdelhamid, Chief Marketing Officer of Valu, commented,
“Ahl Masr Burn Hospital represents everything we admire in a truly purpose-driven organization, an unwavering dedication to serving those in need, regardless of their circumstances. We are proud to stand behind their remarkable work and to play a role in fueling their continued growth. This contribution is our way of saying that what they are building matters, and we are committed to helping them reach and heal more patients.”
Dr. Heba El Sewedy, Founder and Chairwoman of Ahl Masr Foundation and Burn Hospital, commented, “We are proud to partner with EFG Foundation, Bank NXT Foundation, and Valu, whose support reflects a shared commitment to advancing equitable and sustainable healthcare in Egypt. Investments in critical infrastructure and diagnostic capabilities are not only enhancing the quality and efficiency of care we provide today but also strengthening our long-term ability to serve a growing number of burn survivors with dignity, speed, and specialized expertise. Strategic partnerships like this are what enable us to grow, to reach more patients, and to continue delivering care that upholds every individual’s dignity regardless of their means. We look forward to achieving even greater impact together.”
Through this collaboration, the three partners seek to meaningfully strengthen Ahl Masr Burn Hospital’s operational capacity, elevate the patient experience, and advance its diagnostic and treatment capabilities. The initiative reflects the EFG Holding Group’s Integrated Sustainable Development (ISD) approach, a framework centered on delivering scalable, long-term impact through purposeful partnerships and targeted interventions.
Ahl Masr Burn Hospital continues to play a critical role in advancing burn treatment, prevention, and research in Egypt, contributing to improved survival and recovery rates while raising awareness around burn prevention.
