Moroni:Twenty-five children from the Comoros have traveled to India with their families to receive specialized medical treatment, supported by the Nahr Al Hayat Fund of the Emirates Red Crescent (ERC).
According to Wam, the initiative is part of the Nahr Al Hayat Fund's humanitarian efforts to assist patients requiring specialized treatment outside the Comoros, particularly those needing complex medical procedures and surgeries unavailable at local healthcare facilities.
The children departed after the necessary medical approvals and logistical arrangements were completed to facilitate their treatment in India. A farewell ceremony was held at the UAE Embassy in Moroni, attended by Jumaa Rashed Alromaithi, UAE Ambassador to the Union of the Comoros; Ahamadi Sidi Nahouda, Minister of Health and Social Protection of the Comoros; and representatives of relevant authorities.
Alromaithi stated that the initiative reflects the UAE's commitment to improving access to healthcare and strengthening humanitarian cooperation with the Comoros. He emphasized the UAE's dedication to supporting initiatives that alleviate the suffering of patients and children while strengthening healthcare and humanitarian cooperation between the two countries. He wished the children a safe journey and a speedy recovery.
Nahouda praised the initiative as an example of cooperation between the two countries, providing children with access to specialized treatment at advanced medical facilities abroad. He expressed gratitude to the UAE, its embassy in Moroni, the Nahr Al Hayat Fund, and the ERC for their support, highlighting the importance of continued cooperation to assist vulnerable communities.
