A deal has been signed between health chiefs and an international chocolate company to carry out the World Health Survey in the UAE.

The Ministry of Health and the Nestle Middle East inked a memorandum of cooperation (MOC) to implement the survey which aims to compile comprehensive information on the health of the local population, news agency WAM reported on Friday.

The survey in UAE is estimated to cost four million dirhams and Nestle Middle East has made a financial contribution of 500,000 dirhams to support the programme.
