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 education and scholarship programs to nurture a home-grown generation of medical professionals and supports ground-breaking research that addresses health challenges prevalent in the region including cancer.
This year, in a show of solidarity and community spirit, YPI and SWRFC have teamed up to support the Al Jalila Foundation, a philanthropic organisation dedicated to transforming lives and advancing medical innovation and providing healthcare solutions in the UAE.
