ADVANCING DISEASE ELIMINATION FOR A BETTER FUTURE
The Global Institute for Disease Elimination (GLIDE) was announced in 2017 and formally launched in November 2019. This new Institute, based in Abu Dhabi, is the only one of its kind in the region, and has been established through a partnership between His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, The Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi, and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
