community we serve.”

SUPPORTING YOUNG PATIENTS IN NEED

Al Jalila Foundation, a renowned non-profit organization dedicated to
transforming lives through medical innovation and research, has been a beacon
of hope for many children battling cancer. The donation from Salik will aid in

providing necessary treatments, advanced medicines, and overall comprehensive
care essential for these young patients.
Dr. Amer Al Zarooni, CEO of Al Jalila Foundation, expressed his gratitude towards
Salik for their support, emphasizing the importance of corporate contributions in
enhancing healthcare services. “We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Salik for their
significant contribution to supporting cancer patients at Al Jalila Children’s

Hospital,” Dr. Al Zarooni noted.
This kind of support is pivotal in a region where healthcare continues to evolve,
especially for challenging ailments like childhood cancer. Access to advanced
treatments and care facilities can often be a deciding factor in a child’s recovery
journey.

CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY IN THE UAE

Salik’s generosity exemplifies a growing trend among corporations in the UAE to
align business practices with social responsibility. The UAE has been increasingly
recognizing the importance of corporate contributions to healthcare, education,
and community welfare, with companies stepping up to make a difference in
various sectors.
Corporate social responsibility is not just a trend; it’s becoming an essential part
of the corporate culture. Companies are being urged to contribute beyond profit-

making by investing in their communities and supporting various causes that
resonate with their values and missions.
