So
there
are
2
hospitals
by
this
name,
the
old
one
&
the
new
one
(
called
the
Fransawy
or
French
Kasr
alainy)If
you'
re
a
local,
you
know
the
deal,
move
on.
The
Old
one:If
you're
a
tourist
don't
go
unless
God
forbid
you
need
immediate
help.
It's
a
humungous
facility,
and
it
isn't
fair
to
generalize.
The
jist
of
it
is,
it
is
a
compound
of
teaching
hospitals
attached
to
the
Cairo
University
faculty
of
medicine.
Doctors
vary
between
innocent
interns
and
highly
qualified
ones.
Services
are
generally
poor
in
Egypt,
it
is
totally
free
except
many
supplies
are
not
present,
and
you're
expected
to
tip
nurses
sometimes
to
get
them
to
do
their
job.
Many
departments
are
working
to
improve,
but
they
are
not
done.
Generally
the
hospital
serves
under
privileged
communities
and
acts
as
a
tertiary
point
of
care
for
the
entire
country
with
unfairly
limited
resources,
many
many
great
doctors
,
a
poor
system
in
place
and
poor
accountability.
The
Faransawy:
Also
attached
to
the
faculty,
paid
service,
highly
qualified
doctors,
average
nurses,
average
resources,
not
5
stars
,
3
at
best
,
not
a
high
quality
service,
you
will
not
be
spoiled,
but
will
do
the
job
for
a
fair
fee.
Good
outpatient
clinics,
best
doctors
for
an
affordable
fee.
Good
emergency
rooms.
A
must
say
is
:
ICU
services
are
really
good
in
both
.
Generally:
emergency
services
/
public
ambulances
in
egypt
are
very
slow
&
personnel
are
not
qualified,
if
in
an
emergency
get
a
paid
private
ambulance
from
a
well
known
private
hospital,
then
think
later.
be
careful
with
blood
transfusions
in
Egypt,
HCV
is
endemic
make
sure
the
blood
is
tested.
Generally,
be
safe,
be
healthy,
buy
high
quality
travel
health
insurance.
Hopefully
you'll
never
need
to
see
a
doctor
except
for
a
check
up.
