H.H. Sheikh Khalid bin Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan was briefed by the Chairman of Abu Dhabi Health Services Company (SEHA), Salem Rashid Al Noaimi. He briefed regarding the role of the centre in monitoring and management of the Covid-19 positive cases and also providing comprehensive services to the visitors at centre. Sheikh Khalid lauded the successful efforts by centres to help curb the coronavirus infection spread. He also appreciated and thanked the centre team for their continuous efforts in bringing the UAE leadership’s vision to life and become successful.

Sheikh Abdulla Bin Mohammed Al Hamed, Chairman of Department of Health, Abu Dhabi said, “With the direction and support of our wise leadership, we continue our unwavering efforts towards curbing the Covid-19 pandemic and ensuring the health and wellbeing of our community, as it remains at the forefront of our leadership’s priorities. The opening of the COVID Prime Assessment Centre is part of our commitment to fight the pandemic. We have seen positive outcomes through the increased number of recovery cases and the sharp decline in registered positive cases and mortality.”

“The leadership’s continuous empowerment of the healthcare sector was the catalyst behind providing high-quality healthcare services to the community. SEHA is always keen on providing healthcare services that meet the highest international standards and are in line with the directions of the Department of Health in Abu Dhabi,” added Salem Al Noaimi. He also said that the success SEHA has achieved in combating the virus is attributed to the leadership and support by country’s leaders and empowerment of healthcare sector in Abu Dhabi. He also relayed that SEHA is fully capable of handling the healthcare needs of the Emirate. This is due to the presence of advanced technologies and equipment at centre along with highly qualified medical team and administration unit.

Rashid Al Qubaisi, Deputy Chief Executive Officer at SEHA said, “The COVID-19 Prime Assessment Centres in both Abu Dhabi and Al Ain are the first in the UAE to be exclusively dedicated to COVID-19 positive patients. The centres have played and continue to play a pivotal role in combating COVID-19 since they serve as the first stop for patients with a positive test result. The positive results recently announced for Abu Dhabi Emirate are a testament that these centres and the other projects established by the Abu Dhabi Government were instrumental in the Emirate’s efforts to curb the spread of the virus, through effectively monitoring and managing positive cases and providing them with the necessary advice, guidance and treatment until they are fully recovered.”

The Covid-19 Prime Assessment Centres were established by SEHA with prime objective of rapid test results confirmations and efficient and effective management and monitoring of Covid-19 positive cases.
