Easa Saleh Al Gurg Charity Foundation has donated AED 10 million to support children with heart disease. The grant is an extension of the Dubai-based charity’s contributions to a number of humanitarian projects around the world, including healthcare programs.

A’awen (‘support’ in Arabic) is Al Jalila Foundation’s medical treatment programme which works directly with healthcare partners in the UAE to offer financial aid to patients without access to quality healthcare.

Mrs Maryam Easa Saleh Al Gurg, Vice Chairperson of ESAG Charity Foundation, confirmed that the foundation will continue its partnership with Al Jalila Foundation and will keep supporting its work in various medical fields, from medical research to treatment. “Our latest contribution has been in the treatment of children suffering from heart diseases whose family cannot afford to pay costly treatment expenses”, she stated noting that ESAG Charity Foundation focuses on providing medical treatment to disadvantaged families.

Dr Abdulkareem Al Olama, Chief Executive Officer of Al Jalila Foundation, said “ESAG Charity Foundation is a long-term supporter of Al Jalila Foundation and has been instrumental in helping us realize our vision to transform lives through medical advancements. As we continue to champion life-changing improvements that benefit future generations, we are delighted to partner with ESAG Charity Foundation again to bring hope and opportunity to children with heart disease in the region.”
