Noor Dubai's programmes benefit 33 million since 2008

Noor Dubai Foundation, a member of Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiatives (MBRGI), continued to make significant strides in its mission to combat preventable blindness and visual impairment in 2024.

According to its annual report, Noor Dubai has improved the lives of over 33 million people across Asia and Africa since its launch in 2008, with flagship health programmes focused on combating visual impairment and strengthening prevention.

In 2024, the Foundation delivered healthcare and treatment services to 3,859,131 (3.8 million) individuals in countries across Asia and Africa-reflecting its deep commitment to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, particularly in expanding access to quality healthcare and improving lives.

The report also highlights Noor Dubai's intensified efforts to broaden its impact by implementing integrated health campaigns across multiple countries.

These initiatives include comprehensive eye screenings, specialised surgical procedures, and public awareness campaigns aimed at preventing eye diseases.

Over the past year, Noor Dubai also expanded its digital services by launching telemedicine programmes, enabling individuals in remote areas to access advanced medical consultations.
