She added, "It is also expected that more innovative and specialized health services will be provided, keeping pace with future challenges, which will have a significant impact on reducing the proportion of chronic and dangerous diseases, and thus will reflect positively on human health."
Al-Suwaidi stressed that the next stage requires concerted efforts by everyone as a priority to invest more in research support to enhance the level of quality of life, and the readiness of the health sector to face and anticipate future challenges, to enhance human health and protect our societies, and to harness all available capabilities for that.
