He stated, "Providing sustainable healthcare for the poor and needy worldwide is a core objective of both the UAE and the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiatives. This generous Ramadan campaign empowers us to honour our fathers while upholding the values of giving that are integral to our society. We hope our support will help ensure access to essential medication and treatment for those who need it most."
