Noor Dubai
Noor Dubai is an international charitable initiative for the prevention and treatment of blindness and low vision. On September 3, 2008, at the Madinat Jumeirah Arena, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates and Ruler of Dubai, launched Noor Dubai.This is an ambitious initiative which aims to deliver preventive eye care to over 1 million people as part of its drive to realize its vision of a world free from curable forms of blindness. Noor Dubai is our latest effort demonstrating Dubai’s continued commitment to being a responsible global citizen and to helping our less fortunate brethren.
Noor Dubai’s launch program during the month of Ramadan aims to treat regional and international patients in Dubai for multiple conditions that cause blindness and low vision. These patients would not have access to these surgeries in their home countries due to limited personal finances, logistical difficulties, or limited resources in the healthcare system.
Noor Dubai was launched on September 3, 2008, to reflect the spirit of the Holy Month of Ramadan as a month of charity, social awareness and community solidarity.
In addition, over the course of one year, Noor Dubai aims to reach over 1 million patients overall as part of its international prevention program.
