McDonald's UAE has announced the launch of a new donation campaign to support the Red Crescent Medical Center, enhancing its ongoing partnership with the Emirates Red Crescent, which began six years ago. This initiative aims to provide free medical services to over 3,000 patients monthly in the country, reflecting McDonald's commitment to improving the lives of individuals in the community.
Customers can contribute to this humanitarian initiative in several easy ways, to help improve the lives of others. When visiting any McDonald's restaurant in the UAE, customers can donate directly through self-ordering kiosks, which provides a simple and quick way to offer support.
Additionally, customers can donate reward points via the McDonald's App, where every 100 Rewards Points convert into a donation of one dirham. This new initiative aims to make donating a part of the customer's daily experience.
All donations collected will be directed to the Red Crescent Medical Center, enhancing its noble mission of providing free medical care to individuals lacking access to healthcare in the community.
The center's services extend beyond medical care to include a pharmacy that supplies essential medications to those in need, helping to meet their basic health requirements. Moreover, the center provides medical equipment that patients may require, such as wheelchairs and other medical devices, ensuring that every contribution, no matter how small, has a significant impact on the lives of others.
The Red Crescent Medical Center was established in the UAE in 2008 as the sole center providing free medical care to those in need. Located in the residential area of Al Ramla West in Sharjah, it offers services to individuals of various nationalities and age groups across more than 18 specialties, including general surgery, pediatrics, internal medicine, and radiology.
The center relies heavily on donations and community support, which enhances its ability to provide doctors, medicines, and additional equipment to assist patients.
