The United Arab Emirates had one of the best managements
when it comes to handling the coronavirus outbreak. Whether it is the people
who cautiously followed every directive of the government or the health
officials who were constantly on their feets to make sure a curb in the
increasing number of covid-19 cases, this battle was dealt with utmost patience
and balance. Health officials were so concerned for their community that they
even went to the extent of ensuring people’s safety when they themselves were
fighting coronavirus.
The director general of Abu Dhabi Public Health Centre,
Matar Al Nuaimi, developed symptoms of Covid-19 only after a few days after he
was planning measures against the deadly virus. But despite that he continued
taking urgent steps to make sure that people remain safe as much as possible.
When the virus had hit the Emirati nation, he was one of
the core people who shaped the capital response to the virus. He was vouched as
the ideal person to deal with the situation given his background of being a
colonel in the UAE armed forces who used to train medical staff.
“I believe in the importance of training in all fields. I
know that by training thoroughly and effectively you can accomplish at least 70
percent of your mission,” he said.
It was unfortunate that he got infected with the virus, he
was actually looking to fight against it. But as he says in a statement
reported by the Gulf news, it was his fate to deal with the virus both
professionally and personally.
Even when the director general was in isolation, he kept
on seeking reports of the outbreak among people and wanted to help the public.
He assures that there was not even a single day when he did not perform his
duties. He said that the country was prepared for covid attack after the World
Health Organisation first announced the seriousness of the situation and the
degree of the infection. This led to the officials mobilising all efforts in
combating the virus which indeed proved an important step, says Al Nuaimi.
He then applauded the
UAE as a nation which worked hard to control the virus in the country even
though it is difficult to act under pressure at places like--laboratory,
ambulance services, emergency room, ICUs. He said that the commitment that the
UAE showed is unique in the sense how people from all areas have come together
in handling the crisis.
