This collaboration is in alignment with the 2020-2024 Abu Dhabi Strategy for People of Determination, which shares M42's vision of fostering an enabled and empowered community for PoD. The strategy's primary objective is to transform Abu Dhabi into an inclusive and accessible city by adopting a social disability perspective that upholds the rights of PoD. One of the key aims is to integrate PoD and their families into the fabric of society, ensuring their lifelong access to rights, services, and opportunities. To guarantee the highest standards of care, the strategy sets benchmarks established by the government, private sector, and third-party organizations. Additionally, it intends to develop a sustainable community structure based on comprehensive data and statistics.
M42 is helping with diagnostic practice and support in schools through different assets of Mubadala Health. Amana Healthcare and Danat Al Emarat Hospital are already offering in-school support services in conjunction with a policy developed by the Abu Dhabi Department of Education and Knowledge (ADEK).
M42 will continue supporting the PoD community by developing various service lines and initiatives across its facilities. One existing and operational noteworthy program is a screening program designed to detect developmental issues in young children at an early stage. These programs and initiatives align with the global transition from a medical model to a social model approach, encompassing healthcare, social care, and education. The objective of this shift is to eliminate obstacles and foster an environment that empowers PoD, promoting inclusivity and equal opportunities.
