The institute is also the first stage of establishing the medical city, an important project that the university seeks to implement to develop the medical sector and university hospitals in implementation of the directions of the Egyptian state and political leadership towards expanding the establishment of specialized medical centers and developing university hospitals, and Egypt's vision 2030 to achieve sustainable development goals, and qualifying medical facilities to enter the comprehensive health insurance system in the Arab Republic of Egypt, which aims for comprehensive health coverage for all citizens according to the highest quality standards. El-Kased added that the institute will also provide an educational role on prevention and early detection of tumors, and that the Oncology Institute is an academic institute that provides educational research services. The Oncology Institute will grant various academic degrees, including Master's, PhD, and Diploma, in oncology specialties, by providing education based on quality standards and following international educational strategies, which makes the certificates granted by the institute have weight not only locally but also internationally.
