ECN also pays American architects to collaborate on construction projects for the new extension of Children’s Cancer Hospital Egypt 57375.

Through the strengthening of these relationships, valuable information is exchanged between the two countries and therefore more children are cancer-free. Your donations are ultimately put towards the greater good of humanity.
