DHA provides aid worth AED5 million to 400 patients

The Dubai Health Authority (DHA) has provided 400 patients with financial aid worth AED5 million.

According to health officials, people suffering from heart-related conditions, cancer and other diseases were offered assistance.

The authority carried out the humanitarian initiative from the beginning of the year until the end of May, despite the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. 

They were able to do so through their 'Mosaada' programme, 'Save a Heart' initiative and voluntary clinics at Latifa Hospital. 

The DHA, in collaboration with Bait Al Khair Society, also managed to distribute 21,000 free meals to labour workers and security guards working across its facilities during the Holy Month of Ramadan.
