Dubai Culture Brings Stories And Joy To Young Patients At Al Jalila Children’s Specialty Hospital

Dubai Culture and Arts Authority (Dubai Culture), through its Public Libraries Department, brought books, gifts and interactive reading sessions to children at Al Jalila Children’s Specialty Hospital. The visit, led by Dubai Culture employees, included educational stories and group activities designed to create moments of joy and imagination within the ward.

The initiative reflects Dubai Culture’s social responsibility commitments and its belief in the role culture plays in supporting patients, families, and healthcare professionals. By bringing reading into a clinical setting, the Authority also reinforced the value of storytelling in easing anxiety and enhancing wellbeing during treatment, contributing to the objectives of Dubai’s Quality of Life Strategy. These efforts align with the emirate’s ambition to be a global destination of choice for living, working, and visiting.
