The Nursing Program is an integral component of Gouna Technical Nursing Institute (GTNI). Founded as a private non-profit organization by its governing organization, Sawiris Foundation for Social Development (SFSD), and situated under the Ministry of Higher Education, the GTNI is committed to excellence in scholarship and service. In concurrence with the mission of the GTNI and the SFSD, the nursing faculty accept the responsibility of providing an environment in which the learner can gain a breadth of knowledge in the humanities, natural sciences, and social sciences as well as an in-depth understanding of one sector of learning. The faculty believe that by fostering both personal and professional growth from a holistic perspective, they encourage the student to become a positive influence on the nursing profession and society.

The Nursing Program is committed to the education of nurses at Technical Diploma level. However, the faculty believe that multiple levels of nursing practice exist. The program builds a solid foundation for future endeavors in professional development and educational mobility and provides opportunities upon graduation for bachelor’s degree level study through its collaboration with other distinguished higher educational institutions within Egypt.

The Sawiris Foundation for Social Development provides fully funded scholarships for all selected candidates providing a good standard of accommodation, food and required educational material.
