Sheikha Fatima also directed the renaming of Deena Tower to Life Tower, underscoring the campaign’s humanitarian mission.

On Sunday, the campaign raised AED115 million from 33,000 contributors within a week of its launch.
Sheikha Fatima also urged business leaders, philanthropists and members of the public to contribute to the initiative, stressing that healthcare is a fundamental human right.
