Abstract

This research paper seeks to study and publish the remaining architectural elements of Mabarrat Muhammad Ali Hospital in Misr al-Qadima district in Cairo, which was established by Princess Shiwah Kar, who was the first wife of King Fuad I and was the president of the Mabarrat Muhammad Ali Association during the period in which the hospital was built (1940: 1947). The Associationof Mabarrat Muhammad Ali and its affiliated hospitals gained wide fame, as the Egyptian government considered it an institution of public benefit, which encouraged Princess Shiwakar to establish the Mabarrat Muhammad Ali Hospital in Misr al-Qadima region due to the population density in that area, where the basic objective of building the Mabarrat Muhammad Ali was to treat patients who were unable to pay.It is noteworthy that during that period the mortality rate among women and children increased, which increased the princess's insistence on the necessity of establishing this hospital.The princesses of the Alawite family played a major role in financing and supporting the Mabarrat Muhammad Ali Hospital in order to contribute to providing medical and treatment services to various segments of Egyptian society in general and women and children in particular. It is worth noting that only some architectural elements remain of the original parts of the Mabarrat Mohamed Ali Hospital in Misr al-Qadima district (since the time of construction), which will be studied through a descriptive and analytical architectural comparative methodology.
