The Dubai Health Authority (DHA) has provided humanitarian aid worth AED 340 million over the last three years to patients with financial constraints.

In collaboration with accredited UAE-based charities, the DHA’s Health Fund Office was able to offer assistance to people from more than 50 nationalities.

Salim Bin Lahej, Head of the Health Fund Office at the DHA, said that the authority continued its humanitarian work despite the challenges posed by COVID-19 pandemic.

During the Holy Month of Ramadan in 2020, the Health Fund Office also distributed 21,000 free meals to blue-collar workers and security staff working across DHA facilities in collaboration with Bait Al Khair Society and The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA).
