Dr. Omniyat Al Hajri, Director of the Community Health Department at Abu Dhabi Public Health Centre, said, "This virtual forum comes as part of the strategies that Abu Dhabi Public Health Centre has adopted recently. It has become necessary to introduce new platforms in line with the current situation, to address the needs of the community and involve them in the planning process specifically regarding the latest health developments, statistics, preventative strategies and advances made in the health sector, whether locally, regionally or internationally and how to benefit from all of this through exchanging views, information, and experiences.
"After the recent spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, the need to activate virtual platforms has never been greater, due to their important and positive role in completing work and monitoring performance remotely, while reaching the largest possible segment of the public within healthy, smooth and safe standards."
