Gamma Knife w Town Hospital

Town Hospital is a private multi-specialty facility in the Fifth Settlement of New Cairo, Egypt. Established in 2002, the hospital operates from a single building with eight specialized departments. It provides 24-hour emergency services and fully equipped intensive care units with continuous monitoring.

Accreditations and Achievements

The hospital holds accreditations from ESMO and ASCO. It is also recognized among Leading Hospitals. Town Hospital was the first facility in Egypt to perform stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) for drug-resistant epilepsy.

Neurosurgery and Neurology

Professor Dr. Osama El Ghannam heads the neurosurgery department. The team uses microsurgical and neuro-navigation techniques for complex brain and spine procedures. Specialists treat various conditions:

• Drug-resistant epilepsy using the SEEG program
• Brain and central nervous system tumors
• Pituitary adenomas via endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery
• Herniated discs and chronic spine pain
• Aneurysm coiling and vascular interventions

The epilepsy program brings together Egyptian and Indian specialists, including Dr. Nitchan and Dr. Ahmed El-Qeai. For facial nerve palsy, the hospital reports an 85% full recovery rate when treatment begins within 72 hours. A dedicated EEG and EMG unit supports neurology services for precise nerve damage assessment.

Cardiology and Vascular Care

The cardiology department covers everything from diagnostic evaluation to long-term follow-up. Physicians manage hypertension, valve disease, and vascular disorders. A Philips bi-plane cath-lab supports coronary and cerebral interventions. Vascular specialists treat varicose veins using endovenous radiofrequency ablation (EVRF) and laser techniques.

Diagnostic Technologies

Town Hospital has an on-site diagnostic center available 24 hours a day. High-resolution imaging supports accurate surgical planning. Key equipment includes:

• 3-Tesla MRI
• 128-slice CT scanner
• Digital X-ray and 4D ultrasound
• 24-hour Holter monitoring and stress ECG
• Electromyography (EMG) and EEG for nerve studies

Operating theaters use capsulated theatre concepts to meet international infection control standards. Digital ID pass controls and restricted entry protocols protect critical overnight service areas.

Services for International Patients

A dedicated team assists patients from Libya, Saudi Arabia, and other regions. Patients can receive a remote medical evaluation via WhatsApp before traveling. This includes a review of medical reports and scans to provide a preliminary treatment plan. Multilingual online appointment booking helps streamline the arrival process.
