Al Ain City’s farm cleanliness campaign continues



A total of 600 tonnes of plastic, wood and animal waste have been transported within the framework of Al Ain Municipality’s cleanliness campaign, that targets 2,500 farms in Al Yahar and Al Saad areas.

The campaign was launched in August as part of a series of periodic campaigns undertaken by the municipality to preserve the appearance of the city, maintain the safety of its residents and properties, and achieve sustainable development as well as promote high standards of living in the emirate of Abu Dhabi.

The municipality had already issued 136 warnings and 244 instructions to farm owners after noticing incorrectly disposed wastes on the sides of the roads and alleys, and had granted them a grace period to eliminate the violations and ensure their non-recurrence.

The campaign is divided into four phases: the first two were implemented in September and October, while the final two phases will be implemented by year end. A dedicated team are charged with raising awareness among farm owners and controlling the properties that are in violation.

Dr Amal Khalid Alias revealed a recent case of a woman with daughters, who specifically wanted a boy.

A semen analysis of the father showed abnormal sperm so the couple required IVF.

Out of 21 eggs collected, six were unused leaving 15 suitable for IVF.

A specific procedure was used, called intracytoplasmic sperm injection where a single sperm cell is inserted into the egg.

On day three of the process, 14 embryos were biopsied for gender selection.

The next day, a pre-implantation genetic report revealed four normal male embryos, three female and seven abnormal samples.

Day five of the treatment saw two male embryos transferred to the patient.

The woman recorded a positive pregnancy test two weeks later.
