Mediclinic Welcare Hospital will plant a tree for every baby born in their facility in 2023

Earlier this year His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan President of the United Arab Emirates announced that 2023 will be the “Year of Sustainability”. Mediclinic Welcare Hospital has decided to support this vision with its own initiative involving families in Dubai, in collaboration with the Emirates Environmental Group. The initiative marks the occasion of the opening of their newly renovated and reinvented Maternity Unit.

From May until the end of December 2023, every couple that decides to have their baby delivered at Mediclinic Welcare Hospital will also be a part of the “Adopt a Tree” project.

Planting the trees will contribute to enhancing the health and well-being of the people as well as help achieve UAE’s strategy to create carbon sinks and tackle the issue of climate change.

“When we talk about the future, we think about the new generations and what we are leaving behind for them. We at EEG are extremely honoured to work together with Mediclinic Welcare Hospital on this incredible initiative. A total of 700 indigenous saplings will be planted on 27th October in Abu Dhabi. There is no better way to celebrate COP28 than doing actual action-packed events for a sustainable future,” Mrs. Habiba Al Mar’ashi,
