Jordanian girl starts treatment in Dubai after MBR covers costs
The Jaleela Hospital in Dubai received Jordanian girl Katia Abu Al-Soud, who is one year and four months old, to begin her treatment for Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA), fully sponsored by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashed Al Maktoum. Katia's family had appealed through social media to obtain the treatment, which costs approximately $2.4 million—an amount beyond the family's financial means, preventing her from receiving it in Jordan. In response to their plea, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashed sponsored her treatment in Dubai, where she has begun the necessary tests as part of an advanced gene therapy program. This program is one of the largest worldwide in the UAE, offering her a chance to improve her health condition.
