UAE Boosts Global Poliomyelitis Fight
The United Arab Emirates reaffirmed its commitment to accelerating regional and international efforts to eradicate polio during its participation in the 73rd session of the World Health Organization Eastern Mediterranean Regional Committee. In its speech, the UAE highlighted that it recorded the highest coverage rate for comprehensive health services in the Eastern Mediterranean region, and achieved significant progress in eliminating industrially produced trans fats, enhancing patient safety, and developing integrated health surveillance systems. The country also established strategies to strengthen the readiness of healthcare personnel, expand its health insurance system, and support global efforts through substantial financial contributions, including supporting vaccination campaigns and medical supplies via the WHO center in Dubai, as well as the "Polio Legacy Challenge" initiative in Afghanistan. These efforts underscore the importance of sustained investment in preventive health and strengthening healthcare systems to achieve tangible results that contribute to eradicating the disease and enhancing global health security.
