Google Maps listing (reference, not scored)
What the clinic's public Google Maps listing showed when we read it: the rating other people gave, the number of their reviews and the hours the clinic itself publishes there. This block is a reference only — it does not enter the score, the rank, the ceilings or the holds, and we have not checked it beyond matching the listing to this record.

| Axis | Finding (rubric anchor) | Value | Source class | Weight | Checked |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| M1 | Specialist certification of the responsible physician Found, status current; the registered specialty matches what this physician advertises. Egyptian Medical Syndicate specialist register: Ahmed Sobhy Ahmed Howeidy, جراحة تجميل وحروق (plastic surgery & burns), grade إستشاري أول (senior consultant). [ems-doctor] |
OFF | 26 | 2026-08-31 | |
| M2 | Identifiability of the responsible physician Physician(s) named with role and tied to this address. Physician named throughout with role and qualifications; clinic operates under his name at this address. [site] |
SEC | 16 | 2026-08-31 | |
| M3 | Basic medical licence Matched by name (surname stem and given name or initial; a second identifier where the name is ambiguous). Matched by name in the syndicate's doctor register. [ems-doctor] |
OFF | 8 | 2026-08-31 | |
| M4 | Facility registration Record found: name, address and status match. Syndicate facility register: Ahmed Sobhy Ahmed Howeidy, 7 Al-Hijaz Street, Masr El-Gedida, matches the clinic's named physician and address exactly. [ems-facility] |
OFF | 10 | 2026-08-31 | |
| M5 | Legal-entity traceability Only a brand, without a legal form and without a responsible person. Whatever we find ourselves is shown on the profile as a fact and does not raise this cell. Brand only: the clinic publishes no legal entity — no company name, commercial-register number or tax number appears on the pages loaded (home). The Egyptian commercial register (GAFI investor e-portal) is login-gated and its host did not answer; the secondary routes recorded in the registry map (OpenCorporates, GAFI public notices) returned nothing for Egypt. [site] |
SEC | 8 | 2026-09-17 | |
| M6 | Self-disclosure of identifiers Logos without numbers. Qualifications published with issuing institutions (Professor, Faculty of Medicine, Ain Shams University; PhD, University of Liverpool, England; FRCS, England), but no registration or facility numbers are published. [site] |
SEC | 10 | 2026-08-31 | |
| M7 | Advertising honesty One or two soft superlatives or non-absolute safety promises. Two soft superlative phrases appear in the clinic's own Arabic text (quoted below); no outcome or safety assurance claim was found.

SEC | 12 | 2026-08-31 | |
| M8 | Cross-locale consistency Could not verify — no points, counts against coverage, not a negative finding. Reason: Single language front. Last attempt: clinic_site, 20 September 2026 — language links found (ar:200) but no distinct second front The clinic site publishes one language front; nothing to compare. |
? | ? | 5 | 2026-09-17 |
| M9 | Patient documents None. No consent, risk, aftercare, revision-policy or complaint-route page found. [site] |

What we could not verify
- M8 · Cross-locale consistency — Single language front
These cells score nothing and are not negative findings. A cell on a register that is closed to machine queries is left out of the coverage calculation; the others count against it. Each one names why it is empty; an attempt that did not complete is re-run in the next collection pass. If you can point to a public source, send it.
