Officials reviewed the country’s health surveillance systems, precautionary measures, and coordination efforts with local and international partners.

Authorities say monitoring and preparedness measures continue as part of the UAE’s proactive approach to protecting public health and ensuring healthcare facilities and medical teams remain ready to respond effectively when needed.
