Three cochlear implant surgeries for needy patients will be performed as part of a new humanitarian initiative announced by the Shaikha Moza Bint Hamad Al Khalifa Fund, managed by the AlMabarrah AlKhalifia Foundation (MKF).
To be held in collaboration with the Royal Medical Services (RMS), this effort comes as part of the foundation’s commitment to strengthening community partnerships and advancing charitable work that serves the collective needs of society.
MKF board of trustees chairperson Shaikha Zain bint Khalid Al Khalifa underscored the importance of this partnership in driving meaningful social impact.
“The foundation is proud to manage the Shaikha Moza Bint Hamad Al Khalifa Fund, which has supported several initiatives that have benefited a wide range of societal segments,” said Shaikha Zain.
“This latest project, which comes as part of the enduring relationship between the fund and RMS, will grant three cochlear implant surgeries for patients in need.
“This will bring the total number of cochlear implant surgeries performed under this co-operation to 10, following seven successful operations in previous years.”
Established in 2011 under the guidance of the daughters of the late Shaikha Moza bint Hamad Al Khalifa, the fund is overseen by the MKF. It continues to carry out charitable and humanitarian programmes that uplift communities and strengthen the spirit of solidarity.
RMS Commander Brigadier General Dr Shaikh Fahad bin Khalifa bin Salman Al Khalifa also praised the initiative.
“The fund has played a vital role in supporting impactful humanitarian projects,” said Brig Gen Dr Shaikh Fahad.
“In the healthcare sector, the fund partnered with the RMS to donate 37 insulin pumps to children with diabetes.
“Additionally, in honour of the late Dr Haifa Mahmood, 10 individuals were given the opportunity to undergo comprehensive laser vision correction surgeries at Dr Haifa Eye Hospital.”
In the field of education, the fund sponsors three academic scholarships in disciplines such as medicine, two undergraduate scholarships at the Arabian Gulf University and the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland (RCSI Bahrain), and two Master’s level scholarships at the Bahrain University.
