Children in the UAE with severe hearing loss have been given new hope thanks to the Al Jalila Foundation.

Hard of hearing youngsters will be fitted with cutting-edge cochlear implants as part of the Foundation's Ana Asma'a (I hear) programme.

Applications will be assessed on a case-by-case basis and the programme will be open to all nationalities.

CEO of the Al Jalila Foundation, Dr Abdulkareem Al Olama, said research has made such life-changing medical procedures possible.
