UAE Donates $5 Million to US Clinic

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has donated $5 million to the Cleveland Clinic in America's Ohio state to establish a chair in cardiology research.

Minister of Finance Sheikh Hamdan bin Rashid Al Maktoum donated the amount, which will also benefit Joe Sabik, a professor who performed a successful surgery on Sheikh Hamdan.

Under an agreement, UAE doctors will be sent to the Cleveland Clinic for training. A main hall of the clinic will also be named after Sheikh Hamdan.
