Children Cancer Hospital Egypt (CCHE) 57357

Children’s Cancer Hospital in Cairo, Egypt, is a perfect example of what the possibilities can be when people join hands for a common cause. Established in 2007 and inspired by St. Jude Research Hospital, Memphis, Tennessee, Children’s Cancer Hospital is also famously known as the Hospital 57357. The number denotes the bank account number, which was established to accept donations and still sustained with global financial support. Egyptians and people from all over the world, especially the Arabs, contributed wholeheartedly to the fundraising not only for the hospital but for a medical facility that specializes in curing cancer in children and raising the pediatric cancer survival rate in Egypt. The hospital is a 320 beds facility and the largest hospital in the world in terms of providing free of cost, comprehensive, family-centered and unbiased treatment and a chance to survive to every child.

Structure and Design
It is quite interesting and uplifting to know that the Hospital 57357 is nothing like an ordinary healthcare facility. Childhood cancer, being its prime focus, the hospital has been designed keeping children and what interests them in mind as well as customizability, which comes with smart design. The structure can expand horizontally and vertically as per the expansion requirements and instead of keeping the same, somewhat ‘serious’, type of look, the floor’s are identified with colors. The children can roam around the hospital freely and without the risk of being lost; it also has playrooms, library, and a spacious 90,000 sq.-ft. Municipal park. The idea is to provide the children and families, a comfortable and stress-free environment, which is important when having an ailing child.
