Deputy Ruler of Sharjah and Chairman of the Sharjah Media Council Sheikh Sultan bin Ahmed bin Sultan Al Qasimi laid the foundation stone for the Al Reeh Al Mursala Clinic and the drinking water network projects in Kyrgyzstan.
These projects are sponsored by the Sharjah Broadcasting Authority in cooperation with the Sharjah Charity International located in the Kyrgyz Republic.
Sheikh Sultan bin Ahmed says that the UAE is committed to driving humanitarian efforts and charitable initiatives that support the unwell and those in need worldwide.
“The Emirate of Sharjah is committed to this duty through the guidance and vision of wise leadership, which aims to provide everyone with a stable, secure, and healthy life,” says Sheikh Sultan bin Ahmed.
According to Sheikh Sultan bin Ahmed the clinic will feature a range of medical specializations, as well as repairs to the drinking water system in the October Village, Kyrgyzstan. These form part of earlier charitable initiatives already underway in Aswan, Egypt which aims to help the greatest number of sick and destitute people worldwide.
Sheikh Sultan bin Ahmed confirmed that the humanitarian medical campaigns would take root in other countries.
“The purpose of these humanitarian medical campaigns is to offer healthcare and treatment services to those in need who are unable to pay the expenses and treatment costs. The initiatives also aim to use formal channels in the country to distribute donations and philanthropic aid from generous individuals to those in need,” says Sheikh Sultan bin Ahmed.
The Sheikh also thanked the donors and contributors who are part of the medical support provided by hospitals via charitable initiatives such as “Pain and Hope” and ” Al Reeh Al Mursala” which highlight humanitarian cases, and prayed that Allah would accept their contributions, bless their work, and grant swift healing to every patient.
As part of the foundation stone ceremony, saplings were sown at the site of the Al Reeh Al Mursala Clinic, laying the foundation stone for the clinic.
The clinic will include various specialties, such as general medicine, consulting physicians, and radiology, as well as maternity clinics and medical laboratories and aims to serve up to a total capacity of 14,000 clients.
