"At Noor Dubai Foundation, we've treated 18 million people with trachoma - one of the main Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs) causing blindness; rolled out 87 million doses of medicine; conducted over 350,000 eye surgeries; and trained 50,000 health workers," Sheikh Mohammed tweeted on January 29.

The tweet came on the occasion of the World Neglected Tropical Diseases Day.

His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces, affirmed that effective disease responses are essential for human development, particularly in unprivileged communities.
