As part of its initiatives during the Holy Month of Ramadan, Awqaf and Minors Affairs Foundation (AMAF) has earmarked AED560,000 to support 112 patients with high outstanding hospital bills in collaboration with the Tarahum Charity Foundation. Aimed at helping people who cannot afford quality healthcare, the joint initiative aligns with Article Nine of the Fifty-Year Charter that seeks to achieve an annual growth in humanitarian work in parallel with economic growth.
For the first 28 days of the Holy Month, AMAF is offering a daily financial contribution of AED20,000, through Dubai Radio’s Al Nas Lil Nas program, with the allocation distributed equally among four deserving patients in need. The initiative covers the costs of their treatment, medication and life-saving medical devices used in the treatment.
Speaking on the initiative, His Excellency Ali Al Mutawa, Secretary General of AMAF, said: “Strategic partnerships between charity organisations such as AMAF and Tarahum help achieve the objective of Article Nine of the Fifty-Year Charter that was launched by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai.”

He added: “In line with the priorities of the UAE Vision 2021, we seek to build a cohesive society with a world-class healthcare system. We have partnered with several entities to contribute to these goals through donations throughout Ramadan that enhance the quality of life for UAE citizens and residents.”
