Emirates Arthritis Foundation
Emirates Arthritis Foundation is formed under the patronage of Her Royal Highness Princess Haya Bint Al Hussein, wife of UAE Vice President and Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai His Highness General Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum.The purpose of the Emirates Arthritis Foundation is to acknowledge the need to increase awareness and education about arthritis in the region.
Across the world, musculoskeletal conditions affect hundreds of millions of people, at a huge cost to society. In the Middle East alone, there are thousands of people who are afflicted with some form of musculoskeletal ailment. However, there is a general lack of awareness about arthritis and musculoskeletal diseases in the region. In a recent study of 50 patients with inflammatory arthritis at Dubai Bone and Joint Center (DBAJ), we found that an overwhelming majority of patients had a delay in diagnosis, several were not taking appropriate treatment and many were deformed or disabled.
The average age of these patients was only 43 years. If these patients had sought medical attention early, they could have continued working and making useful contributions to society. Disability from arthritis causes major economic loss and can have a profound impact on families. Hence, there is a great need to raise awareness and educate the public and healthcare providers about arthritis.
In affiliation with Dubai Bone and Joint Center, the Emirates Arthritis Foundation (EAF) will be focused on raising awareness of arthritis and educating the public, as well as healthcare providers about arthritis. The development of the foundation is an important component of DBAJ’s commitment to the prevention of musculoskeletal diseases and disorders. Besides education and awareness building, there will be an element of fund raising to help less fortunate patients pay for expensive treatments.
The objectives of the organisation are: Patient education on the prevention and treatment for arthritis.
