ECN’s Achievements

Tag Archives: high quality care

As Ramadan draws to a close, ECN wanted to highlight the numerous accomplishments that we have accumulated over the past year. These include our sponsorship of an emergency supply of leukemia medication, the architectural design and expansion of CCHE 57357, feasibility studies for new endeavors, Egyptian medical researchers in seeking higher education opportunities to build CCHE’s staff capacity and the approval of our international fellowship program, among other successes.

ECN has dedicated itself to contributing $10 million to the highly-anticipated expansion of Children’s Cancer Hospital Egypt 57357 (CCHE), which will ultimately cost upwards of $80 million. Other projects that are in receipt of our support are the construction of new outpatient clinics, a hospice care edifice and guest houses at the Egyptian National Cancer Institute (NCI). In the spirit of the new era that Egypt is now in, and in recognition of the need for all Egyptians to have opportunities and accessibility to services and high-quality care, this goal is certainly attainable. Thus far, during the first three weeks of Ramadan, we have raised over $1.6 million in donations. With $170,000 in donations, ECN could support the extended education and training of 8-10 Egyptian researchers at prestigious institutions in the United States and elsewhere. Naming opportunities can allow you to have various equipment, rooms and buildings at CCHE and NCI be named after you or a loved one. Naming opportunities range in price from $2,000 for an electrical room to $300,000 to sponsor the building entrance.

In just one year we have accomplished so much, but there is always more work to be done in the realm of cancer treatment. Please consider donating to our organization so that we can continue to support endeavors that change the lives of cancer patients in Egypt and beyond.

ECN’s accountant, CPA Sameh William, paid a visit to Children’s Cancer Hospital Egypt 57357 (CHHE) earlier this August. Since arriving in the United States in 2005, William has spent the past seven years working as an accountant for Shenouda and Associates, an accounting firm based in Los Angeles. ECN hired Shenouda and Associates in April of 2012 to manage our booking and accounting.

The visit to CCHE was the first for Mr. William and his wife, who left Egypt the same year that they arrived in the United States. At the time, CCHE was still in its construction phase and was not yet functional. On this annual visit back to Cairo, the Williams’ decided that it was prime time to visit this highly-acclaimed pediatric oncology centre that ECN has such a strong relationship with, particularly in lieu of Mr. William’s new capacity as ECN accountant.

During the visit Mr. William, his family and his guests were particularly impressed with the technical superiority of the hospital as well as the professionalism and passion of the staff and administration; they were also in awe of the functional and aesthetically appealing architectural design of the hospital. Hospital staff pointed out that CCHE had reached 100% occupancy soon after opening in 2007 and elaborated on the rapidly increasing demand for the services that CCHE provides, including free treatment for all that they have the capacity to treat, high-quality care services and an environment that builds on hope, faith and life.

The Williams’ expressed their pride and support for ECN’s mission and vowed to spread the word about ECN’s revolutionary initiatives, including CCHE. Their visit reiterates that ECN is not just a group of employees, but rather a team of passionate, committed advocates for our mission, goals and partners. ECN is an organization that makes its employees proud.
