Egypt’s National Cancer Institute (NCI) has unveiled plans for its new nine-million-square-foot campus outside Cairo. Designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill LLP (SOM), the New National Cancer Institute will strengthen NCI’s position as the largest comprehensive cancer center in the Middle East, Europe, and Africa. The facility will allow the institute to deliver life-changing services to 1.7 million patients from all economic strata per year. It will also serve as an international nexus of cancer research, education, and discourse, enabling NCI to train new generations of practitioners and convene experts from around the world.
