and is the sister of the current Belgian monarch, King Philippe. She is
the wife of Prince Lorenz of Belgium, Archduke of Austria-Este, head
of the Austria-Este branch of the House of Habsburg-Lorraine.
Princess Astrid married Archduke Lorenz of Austria-Este, the head of
the Archducal House of Austria-Este, on 22 September 1984 at
Brussels.
Princess Astrid and Prince Lorenz have five children, who bear
the title "Prince/Princess of Belgium" (in each of the three official
languages) as members of the Belgian royal family and
Archduke/Archduchess of Austria:
Astrid was formerly President of the Belgian Red Cross,[2] a
position which ended on 31 December 2007. She declined to stand
again for election to the role in light of internal struggles in the
organization in reconciling its French-speaking and Flemish branches,
each of which seeks greater autonomy. The princess is also a colonel
in the Medical Component of the Belgian Armed Forces. Her official
residence is the Royal Palace of Laeken in Brussels.[2]
She is a member of the Honorary Board of the International
Paralympic Committee.
Upon her brother's ascension to the throne, Princess Astrid will

15. The establishment of our center came into existence with the
approval of Prof. Osama S. Tayyeb. This was authorized under
Resolution No. 7139 / S on 05/13/1431 H., corresponding to
27/4/2010. In addition to the generous support of businessman Sheikh
Mohammed Hussein Al-Amoudi, who realized that the greatest investment
is with Allah and the innovative idea of breast cancer survivor and
global activist, Dr. Samia Al-Amoudi.
The historic launch of the project took place on July 4, 2010, with the
primary idea behind the Center of Excellence based on establishing a
new concept of women's healthcare in the Kingdom, namely the vital
medical issue-breast cancer. Through her work as a physician, experience
as a breast cancer survivor and efforts of spreading awareness as an
international activist, Dr. Samia has brought to light a broader vision
concerning the needs of breast cancer patients.
In addition to her visits to international centers such as the Susan G.
Komen Breast Cancer Foundation (later known as the Susan G. Komen for
the Cure), M.D. Andersen Cancer Center, The John Hopkins Center,
Harvard University and several others, Al-Amoudi realized that there
were significant deficiencies in the healthcare culture in the Kingdom, in
general, as well as the concept of healthcare for breast cancer patients,
despite the fact that there is no shortage in qualified personnel and
advanced technology.
Hence, Al-Amoudi began studying the gap in available medical services
and how to satisfy the needs of patients, given the available level of
healthcare services. In doing so, Al-Amoudi took a quantum leap in
improving the quality of services, without which healthcare as a whole
could never be complete. Thus, the Center of Excellence for Breast
Cancer was established in operating under international standards.
The Center hopes that Allah Almighty will grant them success in reshaping
women's healthcare in the Kingdom, in achieving the ultimate goal and
their motto 'towards a world-class first in women's healthcare.'
