This initiative, now in its 5th year, reflects Aster DM Healthcare’s commitment to giving back to the community and spreading joy during the blessed month.

The campaign, led by Aster DM Healthcare in collaboration with Dubai Police, aims to provide essential Iftar kits to individuals stuck in traffic while breaking their fast daily.

We are glad to continue our collaboration with Dubai Police to bring this thoughtful initiative to life this year.”
