The Anissa Hassouna Award is a prestigious honor that was created to commemorate the life and legacy of the late Egyptian charity icon Anissa Hassouna. Hassouna was a dedicated advocate for children's health and education and worked tirelessly to improve the lives of the most vulnerable members of Egyptian society.
As the founder of Al Nas Hospital (People's Hospital for Children) and former Executive Director at the Magdi Yacoub Heart Foundation, Hassouna made significant contributions to the healthcare sector in Egypt. She was also a former member of the Egyptian Parliament, where she championed legislation to promote women's rights and social justice.
