Twenty-five children from Comoros, accompanied by their families, have departed for India to receive specialized medical care. The initiative is supported by the Nahr Al Hayat Fund, under the UAE's Red Crescent authority. This humanitarian effort demonstrates the UAE's ongoing commitment to improving the quality of life for people and strengthening solidarity with brotherly and friendly nations.
The children required medical interventions and surgeries not available in local Comorian healthcare facilities. After obtaining necessary medical authorizations and completing logistical arrangements, they traveled to India for treatment. A farewell ceremony was held at the UAE embassy in Moroni, attended by Comoros' Health Minister Ahamadi Sidi Nahouda and several institutional representatives.

The effort enables Comorian children to access specialized medical care in India. Al Rumaithi expressed hope for the children's safe journey, speedy recovery, and return to their families, highlighting the strong fraternal and humanitarian ties between the UAE and Comoros.
Health Minister Ahamadi Sidi Nahouda described the initiative as a model of healthcare and humanitarian cooperation between Comoros and the UAE. He praised the UAE's authentic humanitarian values and commitment to supporting brotherly countries by facilitating access to specialized medical care for children in need. The minister thanked the UAE, its embassy, the Nahr Al Hayat Fund, and the UAE Red Crescent for their generous support.

Ahmed Sari Al Mazrouei, Secretary-General of the UAE Red Crescent, expressed happiness in contributing to the children's access to specialized medical care. He highlighted that this initiative embodies the UAE's humanitarian mission, which prioritizes human well-being and transforms suffering into hope.
Al Mazrouei wished the children a successful medical stay and speedy recovery, hoping this initiative marks the beginning of a new, hopeful chapter for them and their families.
