He praised the leading role demonstrated by Abu Dhabi’s healthcare sector and Mubadala Health’s commitment towards providing quality healthcare services and working side by side in fighting all the challenges and curbing the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic. He highlighted the unwavering efforts to raise awareness among the community members to choose to vaccinate, to ensure their health and safety, especially the most vulnerable groups who are more prone to COVID-19 complications such as elderly people and those with chronic diseases.
