In a significant step toward strengthening healthcare philanthropy, Al Jalila Foundation signed strategic agreements with five UAE-based charitable organisations during its annual donor recognition ceremony.
The event was held under the patronage and in the presence of H.H. Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, Chairman of the Dubai Health Board of Directors.
The memoranda of understanding, signed by Dr. Amer Al Zarooni, CEO of Al Jalila Foundation, mark a unified effort to deliver medical services to vulnerable communities and support medical education and research. The agreements were formalised with leaders from Easa Saleh Al Gurg Charity Foundation, Dar Al Ber Society, Dubai Charity Association, Tarahum Charity Foundation, and Beit Al Khair Society.
“These partnerships ensure life-saving medical care reaches those most in need,”
said Dr. Al Zarooni.
“Together, we strengthen our healthcare ecosystem and reinforce Dubai’s global standing in philanthropic leadership.”
Abdullah Al Falasi, CEO of Dar Al Ber Society, emphasised the alignment with the UAE’s socially responsible vision, while Dubai Charity Association’s Ahmed Al Suwaidi noted the collaboration supports the Dubai Charity Strategy. Dr. Ahmed Tahlek of Tarahum Charity Foundation highlighted the role of community-based initiatives, and Abdeen Al Awadhi of Beit Al Khair Society said the agreement reflects the UAE’s commitment to compassion and public health.
The partnerships will fund key initiatives such as A’awen, The Child Fund, and community programmes like Wellness on Wheels, Ta’alouf, and Majlis Al Amal, consolidating efforts to improve healthcare access and outcomes across the UAE.
