The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has vowed to support international efforts to curb the spread of Covid-19 during a global action plan meeting, in which the leaders discussed the measures to address the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic.

Reem bint Ibrahim al-Hashimy, Minister of State for International Cooperation, said, The UAE, upon the directives of His Highness President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, is determined to continue to support international humanitarian action to provide a comprehensive health solution to curb the spread of Covid-19 pandemic.”

Virtual Covid-19 Global Action Plan Foreign Ministerial Meeting

The UAE Minister participated in the Virtual Covid-19 Global Action Plan Foreign Ministerial Meeting, organized by Japan and the United States. Reportedly, over 30 countries and several specialist international organizations discussed measures to address the pandemic. They also discussed mechanisms for the global distribution of vaccines to curb the spread of the virus. 

The UAE Minister reportedly said, “This could be achieved by strengthening the global health system.” She also said that treatment must be given to everybody without any discrimination. She said that “the UAE was one of the first countries to extend a helping hand to confront the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic.”

UAE’s help to other countries 

During the pandemic in 2020, the UAE sent medical aid, including vaccines, personal protection equipment, ventilators, and tests to nearly 140 countries. The UAE also built field hospitals in nine countries including Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, Sudan, Mauritania, and Sierra Leone.

The UAE also rolled out booster doses in March 2021. Earlier this year, the UAE topped the list of countries with a population of over one million in addressing the Covid-19 pandemic, in terms of the rate of fully vaccinated individuals. These efforts contributed to the significant reduction in the number of Covid-19 cases in the UAE. The UAE also ranked first in recipients receiving at least one dose of the Covid-19 vaccine.
