Tahya Misr Fund and CIB Foundation sign protocol to treat children with heart disease

Tahya Misr Fund and the Commercial International Bank Foundation have signed a cooperation protocol providing catheter-implanted pulmonary valves to critically ill children.

• The protocol, signed by Tahya Misr executive director Tamer Abdel Fattah and CIB deputy CEO Amr El-Genaidy, supports the "Their Hearts Are Our Responsibility" initiative at Ain Shams University hospitals.
• Abdel Fattah said each procedure costs about one million Egyptian pounds and is provided free to eligible children.
• He said the catheter-implanted valve treats severe pulmonary valve narrowing or regurgitation without open-heart surgery.
