Al Jalila Foundation, the philanthropic arm of Dubai Health, has launched the second phase of its Wellness on Wheels mobile clinic initiative at Al Barsha Park, reinforcing its commitment to accessible healthcare services.
Operating daily until March 30, from 4:00 pm to 5:00 pm, the mobile clinics provide free primary medical consultations, diabetes screenings, vital signs monitoring, and essential medical referrals. This follows a successful first phase at Al Khawaneej Park during the initial two weeks of Ramadan. The initiative is in collaboration with the Islamic Affairs & Charitable Activities Department and the Dubai Sports Council.
Dr. Dhoha Alawadhi, Director of Community Engagement Programmes at Al Jalila Foundation, emphasized the initiative’s impact, stating,
“Our mobile clinics are designed to reach diverse community groups, from labourers and senior citizens to orphans and People of Determination. By bringing healthcare to them, we eliminate barriers to access.”
Patients requiring further medical attention are referred to the nearest facility, with financial aid available through the A’awen programme, ensuring cost is never an obstacle to receiving care.
