The UAE has dispatched 72 tonnes of medical supplies to the Maldives to support efforts to curb the spread of the coronavirus.

The aid included critically-needed personal protective equipment (PPE) and medical supplies expected to benefit more than 72,000 healthcare workers as they work to contain the virus.

The UAE government has dispatched over 802 tonnes of aid to more than 65 countries, benefiting approximately 802,000 medical professionals.

UAE Ambassador to the Maldives Dr. Saeed Mohamed Ali Al Shamsi remarked, "In light of the COVID-19 outbreak, the UAE has served as a determined member of the international community in ensuring that aid reaches all corners of the world. Eliminating COVID-19 requires collective action, and no nation can engage in this fight alone.

"Today’s aid delivery to the Maldives reflects this pledge of coordination between countries battling COVID-19, and the UAE is proud to have assisted dozens of countries in this brotherly manner in recent days."
