His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, has launched a Dh1 billion health care fund to help those in need. The initiative, called the “Fathers’ Endowment,” is dedicated to providing essential medical care to underprivileged individuals worldwide, ensuring they receive necessary treatment, medicine, and hospital support.
This humanitarian effort follows the success of the “Mothers’ Endowment” campaign, which focused on education. With this latest project, the UAE continues its mission to extend compassion and aid to vulnerable communities, reinforcing its global leadership in philanthropy and humanitarian work.
A Tribute to Fathers and Their Role in Society
Announcing the initiative, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed emphasized the importance of fathers as pillars of support in families and society. He described the fund as a tribute to their values of protection, care, and responsibility.
“Fathers are a source of security and strength for their families. This initiative reflects the role they play in ensuring the well-being of their loved ones, just as we strive to protect and support those in need,” he said.
His Highness also stressed that access to health care is a basic human right and that no one should suffer due to financial hardship. The Dh1 billion endowment will directly fund hospitals, treatments, and medicine, particularly in communities where medical resources are scarce.
A Lifeline for Those in Need
The initiative is set to make a significant impact on millions of lives worldwide, with a focus on providing sustainable, long-term solutions for health care challenges. The fund will work through partnerships with charities, health organizations, and international aid groups to ensure that those most in need receive the necessary support.
Whether it’s children requiring urgent medical care, families unable to afford treatment, or remote communities lacking proper health facilities, the “Fathers’ Endowment” will serve as a lifeline for many.
This initiative is part of the UAE’s broader vision of giving, compassion, and international cooperation. As His Highness Sheikh Mohammed continues to lead the country’s humanitarian efforts, this fund stands as a testament to the UAE’s commitment to building a healthier, more compassionate world for future generations.
