Ma’an widens healthcare support
ABU DHABI: The Authority of Social Contribution - Ma’an’s ‘ Together We Are Good’ programme has expanded its health support initiative to enable Abu Dhabi residents affected by the current health and economic situation to access medical treatment for chronic illness.
Launched in coordination with the Department of Health - Abu Dhabi, this initiative is the latest in ‘ Together We Are Good’s healthcare pillar, one of the programme’s four key areas of support, which has already used ‘ Together We Are Good’ funds to provide education support, high-quality food supplies, and basic needs support to those residents affected by the recent challenges.
The ‘Together We Are Good’ programme first introduced its health support programme in collaboration with the National Health Insurance Company - Daman to offer medical support to residents of Abu Dhabi who hold Daman basic policies and suffer from chronic illness, providing funding for medical consultation and essential medication supplies for four months
This latest healthcare initiative sees Ma’an collaborate with leading private medical organisation in Abu Dhabi, VPS Healthcare, to offer support to those who suffer chronic illnesses and who are not only covered by Daman medical insurance. The initiative will support residents with other valid health insurance who have reached their existing medical coverage limits.
