Continuing a 30-year partnership that has resulted in 82 US patents and countless medical breakthroughs for children and their families, the UAE government has increased its transformational commitment to Children’s National Hospital with a new $35 million donation aimed at prenatal, neonatal, and maternal health.<\/p>\n
The new present was announced following President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed Bin Zayed Al Nahyan’s recent visit to Children’s National Hospital, where he met with Emirati families and patients.<\/p>\n
