Sheikh Hamad bin Mohammed Al Sharqi, Ruler of Fujairah, has lauded Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces, for his central role in curbing the Covid-19 pandemic.
He also praised Sheikh Mohamed for protecting the health and safety of citizens and residents, and assisting the global efforts to stop the spread of the virus, state news agency Wam reported.
Sheikh Hamad made the remarks while opening the Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Specialist Hospital in Fujairah.
The hospital has 216 beds, including 56 dedicated to intensive care and a coronavirus testing lab.
"The quality of the UAE’s universal healthcare system has helped contain the pandemic, by conducting the best levels of testing, offering regular tests to all segments of the community, and ensuring a place for everyone in specialist hospitals with quarantine options," said Sheikh Hamad.
Sheikh Hamad toured the hospital’s facilities and was briefed by specialists about its strategies, procedures, equipment and medical tools, as well as the level of readiness of its medical staff managed by the Fujairah Emergency, Crisis and Disaster Management Team.
The hospital comes amid efforts to establish specialist facilities around the country by the Tomouh Healthcare Company, in collaboration with the Ministry of Health and Prevention and the Department of Health-Abu Dhabi, on the directives of Sheikh Mohamed.
Mass testing and one of the world's fastest vaccination rates has seen the UAE curb the pandemic. On Wednesday, UAE authorities said 79.55 per cent of the UAE population had received one dose and 71.22 per cent were fully vaccinated.
Cases of Covid-19 have dropped to about 1,500 over the past few weeks from close to 4,000 in January.

Dirham Stretcher tips for having a baby in the UAE
Selma Abdelhamid, the group's moderator, offers her guide to guide the cost of having a young family:
• Buy second hand stuff
They grow so fast. Don't get a second hand car seat though, unless you 100 per cent know it's not expired and hasn't been in an accident.
• Get a health card and vaccinate your child for free at government health centres
Ms Ma says she discovered this after spending thousands on vaccinations at private clinics.
• Join mum and baby coffee mornings provided by clinics, babysitting companies or nurseries.
Before joining baby classes ask for a free trial session. This way you will know if it's for you or not. You'll be surprised how great some classes are and how bad others are.
• Once baby is ready for solids, cook at home
Take the food with you in reusable pouches or jars. You'll save a fortune and you'll know exactly what you're feeding your child.

What is an FTO Designation?
FTO designations impose immigration restrictions on members of the organisation simply by virtue of their membership and triggers a criminal prohibition on knowingly providing material support or resources to the designated organisation as well as asset freezes.
It is a crime for a person in the United States or subject to the jurisdiction of the United States to knowingly provide “material support or resources” to or receive military-type training from or on behalf of a designated FTO.
Representatives and members of a designated FTO, if they are aliens, are inadmissible to and, in certain circumstances removable from, the United States.
Except as authorised by the Secretary of the Treasury, any US financial institution that becomes aware that it has possession of or control over funds in which an FTO or its agent has an interest must retain possession of or control over the funds and report the funds to the Treasury Department.
