The labelling will be available in Arabic, English, and Urdu languages.
The UAE has launched a new initiative to provide medication instruction labels in Braille in order to help the visually impaired read medicine labels independently.

The move was undertaken by the Ministry of Health and Prevention (Mohap) to protect the rights of people of determination and provide all the appropriate services to support their integration into society.
The Braille labelling was prepared by experts and printed at the printing press of the Zayed Higher Organization for People of Determination (ZHO), the UAE’s only facility that provides such a service.
