In connection with 'Child Year' in 1980, an agreement on the construction and donation of a pediatric hospital was concluded between the Egyptian and Japanese Governments. Under this agreement, the Cairo University Pediatric Hospital (CUPH) was opened in March 1983, as a four-storey building with 240 beds, and including four operating rooms, an intensive care unit (ICU) and neonatal ICU. The technical cooperation and supply of medical equipment in all areas of CUPH is ongoing during this project. The subject matter of technical cooperation is as follows. (1) Dispatch of Japanese experts to Egypt for short and long terms. (2) Acceptance of Egyptian trainees to Japan. (3) Supply of medical equipment and materials. Through the first 5 years of this cooperation, the management of ICU, operating theaters, medical and surgical wards has improved markedly with great efforts from the Egyptian and Japanese staff. Based on this successful cooperation, the Pediatric Cardiovascular Center was established in 1988 with a two-storey extension in the hospital including two cardiac operation theaters, ICU and other special facilities. Now, CUPH has become the center of pediatric medical care in not only Egypt but also the surrounding Arabic countries, supported by the friendly and close relationship between Egypt and Japan.
1980年，在“儿童年”之际，埃及政府与日本政府就建造并捐赠一家儿科医院达成协议。根据该协议，开罗大学儿科医院（CUPH）于1983年3月开业，是一栋四层楼建筑，有240张床位，包括四个手术室、一个重症监护病房（ICU）和新生儿重症监护病房。在该项目期间，CUPH各领域的技术合作及医疗设备供应一直在进行。技术合作的主题如下：（1）短期和长期派遣日本专家到埃及。（2）接收埃及学员到日本。（3）供应医疗设备和材料。通过合作的前五年，在埃及和日本工作人员的共同努力下，重症监护病房、手术室、内科和外科病房的管理有了显著改善。基于这一成功合作，1988年成立了儿科心血管中心，医院扩建了两层，包括两个心脏手术室、重症监护病房和其他特殊设施。如今，在埃及与日本友好密切关系的支持下，CUPH不仅成为埃及，也成为周边阿拉伯国家的儿科医疗中心。
