Ronald Reagan Institute to
Develop EMS Services in Egypt
The Ronald Reagan Institute of Emergency Medicine
(RRIEM) has developed emergency services for Cairo University
Hospital, Kaser El Aini. The three-year collaboration was unveiled
recently as Naguib El Helaly Gohar, MD, president of Cairo University,
presented GW Medical Center representative Ayman El-Mohandes,
MD, associate dean for research, School of Public Health and Health
Sciences, with a signed agreement.
"We are delighted to work collaboratively
with Cairo University to develop one of the very first emergency
medical systems in Egypt," said Jeff Smith, MD, director,
International Medicine.
The Ronald Reagan Institute of Emergency Medicine
at GW Medical Center was established in 1991, in recognition of
both the undisputed excellence of the Medical Center's Department
of Emergency Medicine and its role in saving the life of President
Reagan after a 1981 assassination attempt. The Reagan Institute
serves to strengthen the health and welfare of our local, national,
and international communities through research, education, training,
and consultative support.
