Al-Futtaim Lexus and ride-hailing platform Careem have joined hands to express their gratitude to the frontline healthcare workers helping the UAE fight COVID-19. The two companies will offer heathcare personnel free rides on Careem.

Mohammed Maktari, Managing Director – Lexus, commented: “As a company with deep roots in the UAE, we have a role to play in supporting the ongoing fight against COVID-19. The Dubai Health Authority has put a strong healthcare system in place with frontliners working day and night, serving the community and contributing to making the UAE COVID-19 free. We wanted to show our appreciation to these true heroes. We thank them for their dedication and sacrifice in such unprecedented times and know that we remain safe because of them.’’
