KHARTOUM: The UAE voluntary team has launched the mobile clinics and hospital in the White Nile State, Sudan, to provide medical treatment to hundreds of children and elderly people there.

The joint team of Emirati-Sudanese doctors supervises the campaign within the framework of the UAE Societal Voluntary Programme. The move comes in response to the official invitation from the Sudanese Ministry of Health and the Sudan Volunteer Programme.

The campaign is also part of the Year of Giving Initiative launched by President His Highness Shaikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, and a joint humanitarian initiative that brings together the Zayed Giving Initiative, Dar Al Ber Association, Sharjah Charity House, the UAE-German Hospitals Group and the UAE Voluntary Centre.
