Al Jalila Foundation and Dubai International Arbitration Centre join forces to support transformative healthcare

Al Jalila Foundation, the philanthropic arm of Dubai Health, has announced a strategic partnership with the Dubai International Arbitration Centre (DIAC), the largest arbitral institution in the Middle East, Africa and South Asia region, to strengthen community outreach and advance health initiatives through joint charitable efforts.

The collaboration will bring together the healthcare and legal sectors in support of Al Jalila Foundation’s mission, through community engagement, donor outreach, and awareness initiatives.

As part of the agreement, DIAC’s name will be added to Al Jalila Foundation’s donor recognition wall, commemorating their generous contribution, and the Foundation will be recognized as a charitable partner across DIAC’s communication channels.

The agreement reflects the goals of the UAE Year of Community and highlights both organizations’ commitment to creating sustainable impact. By strengthening cross-sector collaboration, the initiative supports national efforts to promote a collective sense of social responsibility.

Dr. Amer Al Zarooni, CEO of Al Jalila Foundation, said: “We are proud to partner with DIAC in a collaboration that reflects our shared vision of building a healthier and more compassionate society. Their support enables us to expand our reach and deepen our impact within the community.”

He added: “Strategic alliances like this are key to our mission. They allow us to work across sectors, leverage expertise and create sustainable, lasting change in people’s lives.”

Jehad Kazim, Executive Director of Dubai International Arbitration Centre said: Our partnership with Al Jalila Foundation reflects DIAC’s commitment to supporting initiatives that strengthen our communities. Together, we’re bringing the legal and healthcare sectors closer to address shared challenges and deliver meaningful benefits. This collaboration marks an important step in our efforts to contribute to a healthier, more connected society.”

Earlier this year, DIAC hosted a Ramadan Charity Suhoor that raised over AED 100,000 to support The Child Fund by Al Jalila Foundation, highlighting the organization’s dedication to social impact.
