Emirates Arthritis Foundation, now known as the Middle East Arthritis Foundation (MEAF), is dedicated to improving the quality of life for individuals living with arthritis. Established in April 2006, MEAF aims to increase awareness and education about arthritis in the region. With the goal of preventing, controlling, and curing the disease, MEAF provides leadership training and supports initiatives that enhance the well-being of arthritis patients.

Arthritis affects millions of people globally, and its prevalence is expected to rise as the population of individuals aged over 50 increases. The most common musculoskeletal conditions, including rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, and low back pain, have substantial impacts on society, resulting in absenteeism from work and high healthcare costs. MEAF organizes various events, such as World Arthritis Day and Walk for Arthritis, gathering thousands of patients and their families.

These events raise awareness, provide educational sessions, and contribute to early diagnosis and better outcomes for those affected by arthritis. By supporting MEAF, through sponsorship or other means, you can play a crucial role in advancing the health and well-being of arthritis patients. Together, let's increase awareness, drive research, and strive to overcome arthritis.
