Mobile Emirati heart clinics roaming the villages of Pakistan to provide integrated health care
Abu Dhabi, May 31 / WAM / The UAE continued to enhance its humanitarian efforts in Pakistan by launching a new stage of mobile community clinics services at the initiative of “Emirates Doctors”, whose activities are currently intensifying in remote villages to provide free and preventive medical care, including the diagnosis and treatment of heart disease, especially between children, women and the elderly.
Mobile clinics work within an integrated field system supervised by specialized medical teams, which include heart, children and family medicine, as well as nurses, laboratories and pharmacists technicians, equipped with all medical supplies, where medicines and consultations are provided for free.
This project comes as a continuation of the 25 -year march of Emirati volunteer medical efforts in Pakistan, within the UAE Pakistani Field Hospital, which has benefited from its services more than a million people, under the supervision of a joint Emirati and Pakistani medical teams.
The initiative is implemented in coordination with the Embassy of the UAE in Pakistan, and in partnership between “Zayed Al -Ataa”, “Sharjah Charitable Foundation”, “Emirates Mobile Community Clinics” and “Emirates Program for Young Humanitarian Leadership” as an innovative model for cooperation between governmental, private and non -profit sectors in the societal medical field.
Dr. Adel Al -Shamri Al -Ajmi, the Emirati heart surgeon and the CEO of the “Zayed Al -Ataa” initiative, stressed that the intensification of the work of clinics comes in conjunction with the “Year of Society”, and aims to attract and rehabilitate medical cadres to enable them to perform their humanitarian role in serving the needy societies.
He explained that the Emirati -Pakistani medical program is based on four axes that include the Pakistan Program for Request and aims to train medical cadres in the front lines, operate mobile clinics, and organize scientific forums to exchange experiences in community medicine, and qualify young medical leaders to ensure the sustainability of health programs.
Sultan Al -Khayal, Secretary -General of the Sharjah Charitable Foundation, stressed that mobile clinics are a practical solution for the residents of remote villages who are difficult to reach hospitals, noting that the 2025 plan includes the coverage of more than 20 Pakistani villages within a sustainable operational strategy.
Dr. Mumtaz Al Balushi, Medical Director of Emirati Pakistani mobile clinics, said that clinics focus on early detection programs and free treatment, especially for chronic heart disease, stressing that cooperation between Emirati and Pakistani medical teams contributes to providing effective services to low -income patients.
Al -Jouri Al -Ajmi, Director of the UAE program for the young humanitarian leadership, explained that work is underway to expand the geographical coverage of clinics and the field hospital to include the largest number of villages in cooperation with local partners and the state embassy in Pakistan.
The people of the Pakistani villages expressed their gratitude for the UAE’s efforts to provide free health care, praising the quality of services that contributed to alleviating their suffering, and stressed that this initiative embodies the approach of the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, “may God rest his soul”, as the leadership of the rational Emirates continues to consolidate the culture of humanitarian and voluntary work globally.
