Sheikh Mohammed outlined the importance of the need for a strategy to be put in place not only for economic purposes, but also emergency plans in order to boost the productivity of the medical sector in the UAE.
“New teams are required to work faster, more thoroughly and more responsively to the fast-changing daily developments,” His Highness said.
