The new initiative offers free cancer, diabetes, and heart screenings for basic insurance holders through a joint ADPHC–Ma’an effort.
Abu Dhabi Public Health Centre (ADPHC) and the Authority of Social Contribution – Ma’an have signed an agreement to launch a fundraising initiative supporting early screening for cancer, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes among basic health insurance holders in the emirate.
The initiative covers free screenings for cervical, breast, and colorectal cancers in women aged 40 to 75, and colorectal cancer in men of the same age group. It also includes early detection programmes for type 2 diabetes and heart disease risks.
The agreement was signed at the 25th IUHPE World Conference on Health Promotion at ADNEC by Dr Rashid Al Suwaidi, Director General of ADPHC, and Engineer Abdulla Hamid Al Ameri, Director General of Ma’an.
Fundraising will be led by Ma’an, while ADPHC will oversee implementation and service quality. The project aims to improve health outcomes for residents with limited insurance coverage and strengthen public-private collaboration in healthcare development.
