The three-day display, organised by the General Headquarter (GHQ) of the UAE Armed Forces, translates a message of gratitude by His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces, who has many a time appreciated the fundamental role played by the nation's doctors, nurses, paramedics, and administrative and technical staff, who are working round the clock under tough circumstances to ensure public safety and health in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Ministry of Health and Prevention lauded the GHQ's initiative, saying it carried an inspirational message of thanks and gratitude to the frontline medical, nursing and administrative staff.
