February 05, 2026
|Gulf Today
The Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiatives (MBRGI) has launched a major initiative in support of efforts to eradicating river blindness (Onchocerciasis) in Ghana by 2030, targeting seven million direct and more than 35 million indirect beneficiaries over the next three years.
The initiative was announced during the World Governments Summit 2026, where a partnership agreement was signed between MBRGI and Noor Dubai.
The initiative aligns with global efforts led by the World Health Organisation to eliminate neglected tropical diseases by the end of the decade, while reinforcing the UAE’s role as a key partner in sustainable humanitarian initiatives worldwide.
The agreement was signed by Saeed Al Eter, CEO of Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiatives (MBRGI), and Prof. Alawi Alsheikh-Ali, Director General of the Dubai Health Authority and Chairman of Noor Dubai's Board of Trustees.
