ABU DHABI // About 1,650 people have been given a range of medical assistance in Tanzania as part of the UAE’s Zayed Giving humanitarian drive.
Children and elderly people were treated by the UAE’s team of medical volunteers.
The initiative was carried out under the supervision of the UAE-Tanzanian voluntary medical team.
The Zayed Giving convoys have now completed the first phase of its humanitarian, diagnostic, therapeutic and surgical mission in the country.
The treatment was conducted under the supervision of Emirati,Tanzanian and international volunteers.
“It is also in response to 2017 being designated the “Year of Giving” by President Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan,” state news agency, Wam said on Friday.
Tanzania’s Minister for Health, Ummy Mwalimu thanked the UAE’s leadership for their efforts in providing aid to affected people, patients and the underprivileged around the world.
The UAE is a pioneering country and global leader in this area, she said.
The initiative was collaborated jointly with Zayed Giving, the Saudi-German Hospital, Dar Al Ber Society and UAE Voluntary Centre in co-ordination with the Ministry of Health of Tanzania.

Some of Darwish's last words
"They see their tomorrows slipping out of their reach. And though it seems to them that everything outside this reality is heaven, yet they do not want to go to that heaven. They stay, because they are afflicted with hope." - Mahmoud Darwish, to attendees of the Palestine Festival of Literature, 2008
His life in brief: Born in a village near Galilee, he lived in exile for most of his life and started writing poetry after high school. He was arrested several times by Israel for what were deemed to be inciteful poems. Most of his work focused on the love and yearning for his homeland, and he was regarded the Palestinian poet of resistance. Over the course of his life, he published more than 30 poetry collections and books of prose, with his work translated into more than 20 languages. Many of his poems were set to music by Arab composers, most significantly Marcel Khalife. Darwish died on August 9, 2008 after undergoing heart surgery in the United States. He was later buried in Ramallah where a shrine was erected in his honour.
