His Excellency added: “The local government is proud of the homeland and the citizen. It is time that an Emirati citizen, with his experience and efficiency, finds the right place in this important sector to achieve prosperity and development.”

The flexibility of the MoHAP’s inspection teams dealing with the health facilities and local production facilities, as well as their continuous communication with them, helps increase the adherence to laws and enhance the spirit of responsibility and self-censorship among manufacturers and healthcare facilities.
