This partnership enables dialysis patients, many
who require daily treatment, to travel from their homes to Prince Hamza
Hospital and back to receive timely and convenient access to medical care, free
of charge as funded by UMR. Careem links a unique promo code to the patients'
mobile numbers and the location of Prince Hamza Hospital. The service caters to
patients residing in both Amman and Zarqa.
Together Careem and UMR have helped 10 patients to
complete 184 trips. UMR plans to expand the service to cater to many more
patients by the end of 2023, greatly impacting the lives of these individuals
and their families.
Farah Odeh, General Manager of Careem Jordan commented: “We care deeply about the community, and that's why we support
initiatives that can make a real difference in people's lives. Our
collaboration with the United Mission for Relief and Development enables us to
provide reliable and comfortable transportation that is fully subsidized, to
make it easier for dialysis patients to prioritize their health. We're planning
to extend this service to help individuals with other medical needs, such as
those undergoing cancer treatments. Our goal is to make sure that getting
reliable transportation for essential medical care is never a worry.”
Since its establishment, UMR has provided
assistance in 35 countries around the world in support of a variety of different causes including
health and food security. Donations have allowed them to serve over 9.6 million
beneficiaries and provide services valued at $335.5 million to the most
underserved communities across the world. UMR in Jordan was established in 2015
to alleviate poverty, hunger, and improve access to healthcare.
As a purpose-driven organization, Careem is
invested in creating lasting impacts on society. Careem for Business, Careem’s
corporate travel management solution that operates in Jordan, the UAE, KSA,
Egypt, Pakistan, Morocco, Kuwait, Iraq and Bahrain, plays an important role in
this mission by providing corporate ride packages for business and NGOs.
