Egypt's only free open door cancer hospital

Yesterday I visited a small cancer hospital in Alexandria with Rotaract Cosmopolitan. It is called Alexandria Ayadi Al-Mostaqbal Oncology Center, and is the only cancer hospital in Egypt which provides free cancer treatment to all types of patients who can't afford to pay for treatment. It is a small hospital, but they recieve a lot of patients: about 6000 each month, actually, which shows how in demand their services are. They seem to be doing very good work, and we were all impressed after our visit. As of now, they only have an out-patient centre, but they have started building an in-patient centre as well. The hospital's only source of funding is donations, so if any of you want to contribute, please contact me. Here is their facebook page, if anyone is interested: https://www.facebook.com/ayadi.almostakbal.
