It has promoted numerous programs of medical care to serve society, in addition to environmental development and continuous scientific research for local and international health.

It was built on 12,400 square metres, and had 90 beds and the following sections: quarters for a resident physician and chief nurse, two wards, a surgery unit, out-patient clinic, a laboratory, kitchen, laundry room, isolation ward, an autopsy department and a mosque containing the mausoleum for the El-Demerdash family.

After the revolution of July 23, 1952, it was suggested that Egyptian universities be given names that were strongly linked with the roots and historical landmarks of the country.

The campus consists of four buildings, in addition to educational hospitals, outpatient clinics, administration, a library, scientific societies and some medical units.

In 2022, two adjacent public parks were added to the campus as part of the "Ain Shams University Medical City" project.
