Back in 2013, Azizi Developments pledged a contribution of AED 10 million to the Al Jalila Foundation in line with its wide-ranging CSR efforts. The donation is used for cancer treatments, as well as for other medical treatments for the less privileged who otherwise can’t afford their medical bills.
Al Jalila Foundation is a global healthcare philanthropic organization dedicated to transforming lives. It was founded by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Ruler of Dubai in April 2013, to position Dubai and the UAE at the forefront of medical innovation.
Al Jalila Foundation supports medical treatment for individuals unable to afford quality healthcare, provides scholarships to nurture a home-grown generation of medical professionals, and supports ground-breaking research that addresses health challenges prevalent in the region: cancer, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, obesity, and mental health. In response to the COVID-19 global pandemic, Al Jalila Foundation expanded its research portfolio to address the coronavirus and other emerging diseases affecting humankind.
