Dubai ruler funds Jordanian girl's SMA treatment
The Vice President of the UAE, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, has taken charge of the treatment for 14-month-old Jordanian girl Katia Abu Al-Saud, who is suffering from spinal muscular atrophy, after a plea from her mother in Jordan. Sheikh Maktoum personally sponsored her treatment at Dubai's Al Jaleela Children’s Hospital, which has a gene therapy program for cases of spinal muscular atrophy, despite the treatment costing $2.4 million (8.8 million dirhams), an expense beyond her family's means. The intervention came after doctors in Jordan informed her that the treatment was unavailable locally and that Katia’s condition required specialized care in Dubai. The girl’s mother expressed her deep gratitude for Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid’s appeal, appreciating his response and the life-saving assistance for her daughter.
