Dubai: International doctors can now easily arrive from abroad to treat emergency cases after Lieutenant General Sheikh Saif bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of the Interior, facilitated the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to supervise the “Bin Wariqah” service.
The service will ease out the process of arrival of doctors in emergency cases, official news agency WAM has reported.
The MoU aims to enhance the joint work and concerted efforts exerted in implementing government directives by achieving cooperation among all institutions and agencies to raise the readiness of human resources in government agencies during times of crisis and emergency situations, especially frontline healthcare workers. It enhances partnership relations by facilitating the way doctors of vital specialties reach their medical facilities in response to emergency cases through the Bin Wariqah Service.
Dubai: If you are a medical professional who is on call and needs to respond quickly to a medical emergency, the UAE’s authorities have implemented a fast-response service, which empowers doctors to use their private vehicles to respond to extreme emergencies.
‘Bin Wraiqa’ is a service provided to a specific category of on-call doctors and aims to facilitate doctors’ access to hospitals by avoiding traffic congestion. By using their private cars, trained and registered medical professionals can respond to medical emergencies as quickly as possible, while ensuring their safety and the safety of road users to avoid any delays due to traffic congestion. The service was rolled out by the Ministry of Interior in 2020.
