Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces, said the UAE remains committed to supporting the eventual eradication of Guinea worm disease.

He met representatives from The Carter Centre in Abu Dhabi which has been on a mission to wipe out the ancient disease.

“I met with representatives of the Carter Centre who play a key role in the fight against Neglected Tropical Diseases,” Sheikh Mohamed said.

“As we get closer to the eradication of Guinea worm disease, we remain committed to working with our partners to advance health and human dignity around the world.”

Eight countries on Wednesday pledged to devote all resources needed to eradicate Guinea worm disease by 2030.

Officials from Chad, Ethiopia, South Sudan, Angola, Sudan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Cameroon agreed to fight the disease and endorsed the Abu Dhabi Declaration on the Eradication of Guinea Worm Disease at the 2022 Guinea Worm Summit held in the capital this week.

The three-day event was co-hosted by The Carter Centre and Reaching the Last Mile, which consists of several global health programmes working to eliminate the disease.

How to wear a kandura

Don’ts
