Baheya Foundation

What Baheya Foundation does

Baheya Foundation is an Egyptian non-profit charitable organization founded in 2015 that delivers free breast cancer early detection and comprehensive treatment services to women in Egypt, funded entirely through individual donations, corporate sponsorships, and institutional support. It operates two hospital facilities, Baheya Al-Haram Center in Giza (the flagship, JCI-accredited) and Baheya Sheikh Zayed Hospital (opened in 2023 after eight years of construction), providing integrated services across radiotherapy, clinical pharmacy, pathology, diagnostic radiology, oncology, surgery, physiotherapy, and laboratory medicine. Core operational features include a One Stop Clinic model eliminating multi-facility patient visits, a mobile mammography and ultrasound vehicle (MIDOR partnership) for remote-area screenings, a research center established in 2017, an AACME-accredited training department, multidisciplinary team meetings with MD Anderson Cancer Center in Spain (via AstraZeneca), and a centralized hotline (16602) for appointment booking.

The foundation generates no patient-billing revenue; its economics are based on donations and CSR partnerships, with donors including Bank Misr (10 million EGP for early-detection mammography), Housing and Development Bank (operating-room wings), Ahli United Bank, National Bank of Kuwait, United Bank, Vodafone Foundation, L'Oréal Egypt, La Roche-Posay, Etisalat Egypt, AstraZeneca, AVON, MIDOR, and Abu Qir Fertilizers. Its go-to-market is community-led and event-driven: free early-detection campaigns across Egyptian governorates, 100+ awareness seminars reaching 3,700+ women during October Breast Cancer Awareness Month, an annual medical conference (7th edition in late 2024 with 2,100 attendees), celebrity and religious endorsements (including Pope Tawadros II), and corporate employee-screening programs.

Quality, governance, and scale metrics are substantial: JCI accreditation (2021, renewed 2024 for three years; evaluated against 750+ international criteria), GAHAR accreditation (2024), ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, and ISO 45001:2018 certifications (2021), and JCI Gold Seal of Approval. Cumulative program scale includes 308,838 patient cases served, 185,714 chemotherapy sessions, 372,632 radiotherapy sessions, and 27,701 surgical operations. The foundation is governed by a Board of Trustees chaired by Tamer Shawky, with Mohamed Omara as CEO of Baheya Hospital Group and Gilan Ahmed as Executive Director of the Foundation. As a non-investment-grade charitable entity, it has no parent company, is not venture-backed, and is not publicly traded; its primary risk is sustained donor concentration rather than competitive displacement.
