UAE, on the path to a healthier ‘Next 50 years'

Through multiple strategic National Programmes and with timely intervention, the UAE could bring COVID-19 under control, says Dr. Azad Moopen

The UAE celebrates 49th National Day with traditional zeal.

“I salute and congratulate the Visionary Rulers of UAE, on the 49th National Day for tackling the COVID-19 pandemic in the most efficacious manner, standing out as a shining example in the darkness around. While an unprecedented global crisis due to the Black Swan event brought the whole world to almost a standstill, this Oasis of peace and prosperity could turn the tide around and emerge victorious,” said Dr. Azad Moopen,

Founder Chairman and Managing Director, Aster DM Healthcare.

“The year 2020 has been the most unprecedented year that our generation has seen, bringing a crisis that can be compared only with the Spanish flu a century ago. The last one year saw the Novel Coronavirus infecting more that 60 million people in almost all countries in the world and killing more than a million. The global economy came to a standstill with lockdown confining people to their homes. However, through multiple strategic National Programmes and with timely intervention, the UAE could bring COVID-19 under control with very low mortality rate, emerging as one of the safest countries in the world.
