This makes it a key cornerstone in serving critical cases across Upper Egypt. The signing ceremony was attended by senior officials from Emirates NBD Egypt, led by Mr. Amr ElShafei, Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director, Dr. Amgad Doma, Chief Strategy and Sustainability Officer, and Mr. Tamer Ragheb, Head of Corporate and Institutional Banking. It was also attended by representatives of Sehetna Foundation, led by Mr. Amr Shaker, Chairman of the Board of Trustees and Dr. Rabab Youssef, Executive Director, in order to enhance transparency and highlight the impact of this community initiative in Upper Egypt. This partnership comes as part of Emirates NBD Egypt’s corporate social responsibility strategy, which focuses on investing in vital sectors that have a direct impact on individuals’ quality of life, with healthcare at the forefront. It reflects the Bank’s role in supporting major medical institutions serving underserved areas, contributing to improved healthcare services and creating a tangible and immediate impact on patients’ lives. The initiative is expected to contribute, with the support of our partners, to providing care for approximately 720 critical patients annually. As part of this partnership, Emirates NBD Egypt will provide a comprehensive package of advanced medical equipment, ensuring the upgrade of the hospital’s medical infrastructure according to the highest standards, in efforts to reduce waiting lists and improve the quality of healthcare services in university and public hospitals.   In this context, Mr. Amr ElShafei, Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director of Emirates NBD Egypt, commented: “Our investment in developing the medical infrastructure at Assiut University Hospital reflects our firm belief that advanced healthcare is a cornerstone of comprehensive economic and social development.
