Dar Al Ber Society has spent AED 60,252,554 as medical aids on 6,110 patients across the UAE over the period from 2010 and until the first quarter of 2016.

H.E. Khalfan Khalifa Al Mazroui, Chairman of Dar Al Ber Society, said Dar Al Ber, fully committed to low-income people, spares no effort to support eligible patients locally and abroad.

“Dar Al Ber Society has significantly supported thousands of patients who suffered an array of life-threatening diseases, most importantly cancer and chronic liver, and covered the costs of critical operations and limb transplant surgeries.”

Such exceptional work would not have been possible without fruitful strategic partnerships locally and abroad as is the case with the Dubai Health Authority, and a number of famous hospitals, clinics, and medical centres, he added.

“The Society is, for example, in a strategic partnership with the ‘Children’s Cancer Hospital Egypt 57357’, and the Zayed Giving Initiative for helping financially incapable patients with heart diseases.”

H.E. Abdullah Ali bin Zayed, Executive Director of Dar Al Ber Society, said the Society is accordingly honored to celebrate the ‘World Health Day’ which is a global health awareness function that annually falls on April 07.

“Dar Al Ber spent AED 4,734,877 as medical assistance on 823 low-income patients in 18 countries, spanning Sudan, Somalia, Syria, Palestine, Lebanon, Egypt, Mauritania, India, Ethiopia, Kenya, Kosovo, the Philippines, China, Albania, Guinea, Ivory Coast, Burundi and Seychelles from 2013 to 2015.”

The medical care assistance provided to low-income patients across the UAE included delivery operations, diverse surgeries, and medical allowances for low-income families, he explained.

“The medical aids provided abroad spanned the construction and maintenance of hospitals and clinics, performing surgeries, supporting special needs people with wheel chairs, qualifying medical cadres, fulfilling patients’ needs, and buying ambulances for disadvantaged areas.”
