Amr M.Rifaat

The administrative work is undertaken by Dr. Amr Rifaat. Dr. Rifaat has had a varied career. He has a doctorat of engineering from Sweden and he has been involved for many years in helping people in Egypt gain access to appropriate health care. He has also been a teacher. He also speaks fluent Swed­ish. Thus he is well qualified for a post involving cooperation between Egypt and Sweden. In addition to the above he has professional experience from the construction industry, which ensures That the building work of the Gamma Knife Center is of a high standard.

The Clinical work is the responsibility of Dr. Jeremy Ganz. He is a British Swede having spent most of his life as a neurosurgeon in Norway. He speaks fluent Norwegian and since Swedish is very similar to Norwegian he is understood by Swedes who are concentrating on what he says. He has directed a Gamma Knife in Norway and has travelled the world teaching people how to start up Gamma Knife radiosurgery sites. He has also written an introductory book about the Gamma Knife.

The Center is also fortunate to have the services of two expert nurses from Stockholm. Kristina Hautenen has been nursing with the Gamma Knife since the time of Lars Leksell whom she has assisted. She is the most experienced Gamma Knife nurse in the world. The Cairo center is very lucky to have obtained her services. In addition there is Lena Ahliny who also helps to train the nurses locally. Lena comes from the west coast of Sweden, far from Stockholm. She is an experienced operating room nurse and has also been engaged in activities for many years to better the conditions of nurses and to im­prove the quality of nursing.

The first person whom the visitor to the Center will meet is probably Dr. Mohammed. He is responsible for our administration and he mans the telephone and keeps the paperwork and images in order. Dr. Mohammed has a medical qualification and a most useful interest in computer science which is very helpful when it comes to organising our administration. Dr. Mohammed's desk is placed facing the main door and he is ever ready to greet new visitors.

The physical maintenance of the building and its everyday running is in the hands of Atif. His cheerful face bobs everywhere where practical problems.
