Abu Dhabi donates $25m to malaria programme

Abu Dhabi has donated $25m to boost UN efforts to combat malaria. The grant will support the work of the UN's Roll Back Malaria Partnership over the next five years and bolster efforts to eradicate the parasite infection from its last regional strongholds. The UAE was declared malaria-free in 2007, but experts have struggled to wipe out the disease in other Arab regions including the areas bordering Saudi Arabia.
