It was founded with a humanitarian mission rooted in Islamic principles and universal ethics. ZAD provides specialized healthcare services to underserved populations, with a focus on surgical care, intensive care, and medical access for those unable to afford treatment.
Its motto is: “Zad for Human Revival”, inspired by the Quranic verse: "مَنۡ أَحۡیَاهَا فَكَأَنَّمَاۤ أَحۡیَا ٱلنَّاسَ جَمِیعًۭا" (“Whoever saves a life, it is as if he had saved all mankind.”)
