A senior medical delegation from Tanta University visited the Children’s Cancer Hospital 57357 in Cairo to discuss enhanced collaboration and shared clinical programmes. The visit, led by Professor Mohamed Hussein, President of Tanta University, sought to cement links between the university hospitals and the renowned paediatric cancer centre to raise standards of care for children in the Nile Delta region.
The delegation was received by the hospital leadership, including Dr Sherif Abu El-Naga, Director of 57357, and the hospital executive team. Representatives from Tanta included the Dean of Medicine and Chair of the University Hospitals Board, Professor Mohamed Hantira, the executive director of university hospitals, and senior clinicians responsible for the university’s paediatric oncology service and bone marrow transplant unit.
Tanta University 57357 partnership aims and activities
During an extended tour of clinical departments, the visitors inspected the hospital’s diagnostic and treatment technologies and observed current clinical workflows. Meetings focused on exchanging expertise, reviewing internationally recognised treatment protocols and identifying practical measures for technical and administrative integration between institutions.
The two sides discussed a range of cooperative activities. These included structured training programmes for physicians and nursing staff, joint clinical audits to harmonise patient pathways, and collaborative research projects that tie academic investigation with bedside care. University leaders emphasised the need to align protocols so patients within the Delta region can access the same standard of care available at specialist centres.
Professor Hussein said the initiative fits within Tanta University’s national higher education and research strategy and the university’s operational plan to modernise its medical services. He described 57357 as a source of national pride and stressed the importance of shared protocols and the exchange of medical and nursing competencies to improve outcomes for Egyptian families.
Professor Hantira underlined the value of partnering with an established institution such as 57357 to strengthen the skills of Tanta’s clinical teams. He highlighted plans for advanced training modules that combine research and clinical practice to ensure that the university’s staff can deliver internationally recognised care for paediatric oncology patients.
Hospital leaders at 57357 welcomed the proposals and identified several immediate steps, including short-term observerships for university clinicians, joint workshops on transplant and oncology protocols, and the establishment of a regular liaison committee to oversee implementation. Both parties agreed that technical integration and consistent protocols would reduce variation in care and accelerate access to high-quality treatment in the region.
The visit represents a pragmatic model of institutional cooperation where academic hospitals and specialist centres pool expertise to benefit patient care. By prioritising workforce development, protocol standardisation and collaborative research, Tanta University and 57357 aim to expand access to high-quality paediatric cancer treatment across Egypt.
