To ensure Banque Misr's commitment to enhancing the quality of medical and therapeutic services offered at Kasr Al-Ainy University Hospital, the bank signed a cooperation protocol with the hospital to develop the first unit of the university's Critical Care Center. The protocol was signed on Sunday, August 10, 2025, by Mr. Hisham Okasha, CEO of Banque Misr, and Prof. Dr. Mohamed Samy Abdel-Sadek, President of Cairo University. The signing was attended by Dr. Fatma El-Gouly, Head of Corporate Communications Sector at Banque Misr, Prof. Dr. Hossam Salah, Dean of Kasr Al-Ainy Faculty of Medicine and Chairman of Cairo University Hospitals, and a distinguished group of leaders from the bank and the university.

Under this protocol, Banque Misr will support the Critical Care Center at Kasr Al-Ainy University Hospital, which is part of Cairo University Hospitals, with EGP 124 million. This funding will be used to provide the necessary medical equipment and supplies to improve the efficiency of the first unit of the critical care department. This support is a continuation of Banque Misr's ongoing commitment to supporting the healthcare sector, including Kasr Al-Ainy Hospital. The bank had previously supported the hospital's cardiothoracic surgery department with EGP 12 million for medical equipment and supplies, in addition to supporting the outpatient clinics with EGP 160 million for a comprehensive upgrade. The bank also contributed EGP 100 million to the new Kasr Al-Ainy teaching hospital, "El-Frenswy," to fund the urgent phase of a comprehensive development plan that includes replacing and renovating the infrastructure and treatment departments and improving the hospital's efficiency.

Mr. Hisham Okasha, CEO of Banque Misr, affirmed that the bank's contribution to developing the first unit of the Critical Care Center stems from its belief in every individual's right to proper healthcare. He noted that Kasr Al-Ainy University Hospital is a leading medical institution that provides safe and free treatment services to those in need without discrimination. Okasha pointed out that this support reflects the bank's continuous commitment to the healthcare sector due to its vital strategic importance in people's lives. It also aligns with supporting the state's efforts in the health sector, which is one of the main pillars of Egypt's Vision 2030 and a key developmental goal the bank seeks to contribute to sustainably.

Dr. Mohamed Samy Abdel-Sadek confirmed that this cooperation reflects the effective community partnership between national institutions to support the health sector. He considered it a significant step towards enhancing the capabilities of Cairo University hospitals to provide advanced and safe treatment services, which contributes to serving citizens and supporting the state's efforts to achieve sustainable development goals and Egypt's Vision 2030 in the health field.

The university president thanked Banque Misr's leadership and staff for their continuous support and unique initiatives. He emphasized that this contribution is not just a financial donation but a genuine investment in the health of Egyptian citizens and a way to empower Kasr Al-Ainy to continue its humanitarian and scientific mission of providing advanced medical care.

Banque Misr is considered one of the largest banks that places great importance on social responsibility. The bank allocated about EGP 1.2 billion for investment in various social responsibility fields in 2024, committed to being a positive role model. This reflects positively on the sustainable development of the entire community.
