Geography & Population • Area = 1,002,000 km2 • Nile = 6500 km , the longest in the world • Red Sea coast = 995 km • Mediterranean coast =1941 km • Population ~ Million 82 • Population Growth Rate: 1.9% • Net Migration Rate: • 21 migrants/ 100,000 population • Literacy = 71.4% • Illiteracy decreased from 39.4% of population in 1996 to 29.3% in 2006 • Percentage of university graduates increased from 5.7% in 1996 to 9.6% in 2006
Egypt Population: Urban vs Rural 1907 - 2009 % of Population Excluding Egyptians abroad
Current situation for Egypt • pPCI rate is around 5 – 8 % • No accurate data available • Different types of hospitals : • University hospitals • Military hospitals • Government/medical insurance hospitals • Private hospitals • National EMS number exists but is not widely used • Government hospital cathlabs are not open 24/7 • Private hospitals are well structured some of them cathlabs available 24/7 • Patient are not aware of AMI symptoms and importance of Time. Patients rather wait for “their” physician • Interventional cardiology is a rather new discipline • Lack of overall awareness with key stakeholders on “Time is muscle” for AMI patients September 2010 Getting started

Patient EMS cathlab ICU Local hospital Home Current situation : patient pathway • Calls cardiologist • Calls private hospital • Calls physician from private insurance • Calls EMS • DENIAL • Only ambulance from specialised cardiac hospitals have a physician on board • Not properly trained • ECG only on board in new ambulances • No clear unified protocol • Will drive patient to nearest hospitals • If private insurance : will go to private hospital • Not all are open 24/7 • Lack of awareness of how to treat an AMI patient • Cathlab not prepared for AMI patients • Logistic obstacles
SFL Project proposal • Country steering committee with key stakeholders • spokespeople for projects – communicate with media, during congresses and with government • Select people who endorse, support and drive the projects • Key spokesperson : Prof . Mohamed Sobhy • National coordinator/ Project manager : Dr Ahmed El Chal • Liaise with central SFL committee • Representatives of sponsoring companies • Task forces in 5 regions • Alexandria : • best organised region • Great Cairo region : • already individual projects in 3 University hospitals and a project in the National Heart Institute on AMI data gathering • Delta region and Upper Egypt : • rural areas, key focus areas for government • Military Hospitals Group : • strong network, very disciplined, low on bureaucracy, easy to implement protocols October 2010 Proposal
SFL Project proposal • For each region : • decide on key stakeholders • Presentation to “sell” concept to make sure everyone agrees and sees the importance of the project • Stakeholders need to decide on Task Force • Select pilot center and develop into “centre of excellence” • Work with “train the trainer concept” • Develop detailed plan • Gather baseline data • Develop budget • Set clear objectives Define milestones and deliverables • Put measurements in place • Regular feedback into country Steering Committee
Stent for Life Project – Egypt Objectives • Integrate SFL into National Cardiology Program • Build Regional Network and Infrastructure (EMS) • Optimize Cath Lab Staffing and Work Organization • Allocate Budget (Procedure reimbursement & 24/7 staff remuneration) • Establish National ACS/AMI Registry • Increase Disease Awareness (Educational campaign to government, payers and lay public) • EMS staff training is more important that the EMS staff structure (trained nurses suitable for the triage and transport of AMI patients) • EMS ambulances: equipped by resuscitation facilities and by a portable 12-leads ECG. • Raising public awareness about heart attacks and importance to reach the nearest medical centre. • Criteria of selection of patient receiving PCI for SFL program. • Create a database of current PPCI practice patterns in Egypt in order to serve as a benchmark for further assessment. • Improve the performance of centers doing PPCI. • Adequate training of ER & all concerned staff. • Increase patients awareness of the seriousness of chest pain & the dangers of delaying adequate medical care. • Improving emergency services with regional maps for different centers.
Stakeholder management Barriers : No clear mapping cath labs/population Lack of knowledge and implementation of ESC guidelines Mindset change : IC is also a discipline that needs to be available 24/7 Infrastructure change cathlab 24/7 clear protocol for EMS Action items Mapping Continue with training on ESC guidelines Use local meetings /symposia/media to create awareness Select projects that give “quick” results – communicate results Organise local stakeholder meetings to get buy-in from start
