Burjeel Medical City will identify patients in need of support and provide the required medical assessments and treatment cost estimates, while Al Mabarrah will review eligible cases and facilitate charitable funding through its approved channels

Abu Dhabi: To expand healthcare access across communities, Burjeel Holdings, a leading super-specialty healthcare services provider in the GCC, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Al Mabarrah International Charitable Association, an Abu Dhabi-based charitable and humanitarian organization. The collaboration will help cover all or part of the cost of treatment for cases that meet the approved eligibility criteria through charitable campaigns and initiatives, strengthening the link between charitable action and healthcare.

The agreement was signed by Mr. Omran Al Khoori, Member of the Board of Directors, Burjeel Holdings, and Rashid bin Jarash, Director General of the Global Al-Mabarrah Charitable Society in the presence of H.E. Dr. Ali Rashid Al Nuaimi, of the Board of Directors of Al Mabarrah International Charitable Association, and Dr. Shamsheer Vayalil, Chairman and CEO of Burjeel Holdings.

“Partnerships between healthcare providers and charitable institutions have an important role in addressing gaps in access to treatment. This collaboration establishes a structured framework that brings together Al Mabarrah’s experience in charitable giving and Burjeel Medical City’s clinical capabilities. Through clear governance, transparent processes, and responsible use of contributions, we aim to support eligible patients with the care they need while safeguarding their privacy and dignity. We believe this model can create measurable and lasting value for patients, their families, and the wider community.”

“This memorandum reflects Al Mabarrah’s commitment to bringing healthcare within reach of those who need it most through a clear process that identifies medical need, mobilizes donor support, funds treatment, and monitors outcomes. Our priority is to ensure that every donation creates a genuine opportunity for treatment while protecting the patient’s privacy and dignity. By combining Al Mabarrah’s experience in charitable initiatives with Burjeel Medical City’s healthcare expertise, the collaboration aims to establish a scalable and sustainable model for supporting eligible patients. We also hope it will encourage greater community and healthcare-sector participation in creating measurable humanitarian impact, in line with the UAE’s values of solidarity and social responsibility.”

Structured Pathway Making Care More Accessible

The agreement establishes a structured process to ensure that support reaches eligible beneficiaries. Burjeel Medical City (BMC), the flagship facility of Burjeel Holdings, will identify patients who require assistance and provide the medical reports and cost estimates needed to assess each case. Al Mabarrah will review the cases in line with its criteria and procedures and determine whether to launch a fundraising campaign or include the case within its charitable support programs through the Association's approved channels.

Once a case is approved and funding is secured, the allocated amount will be utilized for the patient’s treatment at BMC. The hospital will provide the necessary medical care, monitor the patient’s progress, and share relevant reports and documentation with Al Mabarrah to confirm that treatment is ongoing or has been successfully completed. This process will give donors greater clarity on how their contributions are used and help connect medical needs with community support through a well-documented, organized framework.

The collaboration places particular emphasis on patient privacy and dignity. Medical and personal information will be protected, and patients’ names, photographs, or medical reports will not be used in campaigns or awareness materials unless all necessary consents have been obtained, and only within the permitted scope. Approved funds will be used solely for the specified treatment, with each stage of implementation and follow-up documented.

Al Mabarrah will announce approved medical campaigns and initiatives through its authorized channels, in accordance with the relevant procedures and permits. This will enable community members and donors to contribute to the treatment of patients in need through trusted channels, turning charitable giving into direct health impact for patients and their families.

The partnership reflects both organizations’ commitment to creating direct community impact through health and charitable initiatives that are structured and measurable.
