A landmark pact was signed in India during the recent visit of Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the Deputy Prime Minister of the UAE, to open a UAE-India Friendship Hospital for the blue-collar workforce in Dubai.

The hospital, which is a joint philanthropic initiative, will be designed to deliver affordable healthcare service to immigrant laborers.

Philanthropist and visionary entrepreneur Faizal Kottikollon expressed his gratitude to His Highness Sheikh Hamdan, the Dubai Health Authority, and the numerous committed partners, for the successful signing of the MoU to establish the UAE-India Friendship Hospital.

“The signing of this MoU highlights the deep-rooted relationship between the UAE and India, emphasising the strong people-to-people connection and community support that has flourished over the years,” said Kottikollon. “This moment represents more than the launch of a healthcare initiative as it marks the beginning of a transformative journey that will provide essential services to those who have been integral to Dubai’s remarkable development.”

The main objective of the UAE-India Friendship Hospital is to provide workers quality healthcare, reaffirming the spirit of unity between India and the UAE.

Kottikollon conveyed his appreciation to the Indian Embassy and Consulate in the UAE, and the UIBC-UC team, whose steadfast support has helped steer the project’s execution in a structured and efficient manner.

The UAE-India Friendship Hospital stands as a powerful embodiment of humanitarian values and shared aspirations between two nations culturally and historically united for centuries. – editor@nrifocus.com
