This cooperation aims to enhance the hospital’s capacity to provide comprehensive healthcare services to the people of Suez.
During the tour, the attendees inspected the Burns and Wound Care Unit and the Dialysis Unit, and reviewed the needs of the Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Department, particularly the provision of an ultrasound device. These efforts are part of the hospital’s plan to be equipped with the latest medical technologies necessary to deliver advanced healthcare services.

He noted that cooperation with the Al Suwaidi Foundation for Community Development reflects a successful model of community partnership.

For his part, Prof. Dr. Ashraf Heniegal, President of Suez University, stated that the new University Hospital represents a significant addition to both the university and the Suez community. He emphasized that collaboration with the Al Suwaidi Foundation for Community Development would strengthen the hospital’s ability to acquire modern equipment that benefits both patients and students.
Prof. Dr. Heniegal further noted that the inauguration of the University Hospital reflects the fruitful cooperation among the university, the governorate, and civil society institutions. It also demonstrates the university’s commitment to providing education and healthcare services of the highest quality, thereby directly benefiting the citizens of Suez.
Following the hospital tour, Deputy Governor Dr. Mohamed Allam, Eng.

During the meeting, Eng. Majed Al Suwaidi proposed the establishment of a nursing school that would prepare students for admission to the institute. Such an initiative would contribute to the preparation of highly qualified nursing professionals and strengthen the university’s ability to meet the needs of both the hospital and the local community for distinguished healthcare personnel.
