Rethinking architectural design to enable enhanced patient experience in Egypt

Dubai, UAE – CRTKL, a global cultural agency specialising in architecture, planning and design, has unveiled insights into how it is enhancing the patient experience through design in Egypt.

CRTKL is currently working to help Cairo Children’s Cancer Hospital Egypt (CCHE) realize its mission to become one of the most comprehensive cancer treatment and teaching hospitals in the region and in the world. Through this project, CCHE aims to triple its bed capacity to nearly 600 inpatient beds and expand its associated medical services. The new Outpatient Centre will allow the hospital to combine all of its outpatient services into one facility, separate but adjacent, to the inpatient hospital. This 67,000-SM facility is expected to accommodate more than 300,000 visits per year and is designed to accommodate the future addition of a Proton Therapy Centre.

Ahmed Ghobara, Associate Principal at CRTKL commented: “The Children’s Cancer Centre in Cairo is designed with a flexible planning module, allowing it to easily adapt to growth and changes within the various clinical modalities over time. The building contains three floors dedicated to medical oncology, with the capacity for 300 infusion seats. Meanwhile, three additional floors are dedicated to clinical exam modules.”
