Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashed Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai.

About Emirates Arthritis Foundation (EAF)
The purpose of the Emirates Arthritis Foundation is to acknowledge the need to increase awareness and education about arthritis in the region.
Across the world, musculoskeletal conditions affect hundreds of millions of people, at a huge cost to society. In the Middle East alone, there are thousands of people who are afflicted with some form of musculoskeletal ailment. However, there is a general lack of awareness about arthritis and musculoskeletal diseases in the region. In a recent study of 50 patients with inflammatory arthritis at Dubai Bone and Joint Center (DBAJ), we found that an overwhelming majority of patients had a delay in diagnosis, several were not taking appropriate treatment and many were deformed or disabled.
The average age of these patients was only 43 years. If these patients had sought medical attention early, they could have continued working and making useful contributions to society. Disability from arthritis causes major economic loss and can have a profound impact on families. Hence, there is a great need to raise awareness and educate the public and healthcare providers about arthritis. Log on to our website http://www.arthritis.ae
