BEFITTING RECOGNITION FOR BEST-IN-CLASS HEALTHCARE SERVICES IN DUBAI: The award of the Hamdan Bin Mohammed Programme for Governmental Services Flag to Dubai Health Authority for the Dubai Health Shield initiative is indeed befitting. With the latest protection and prevention systems for infectious and epidemic diseases in the world, the initiative ensures the best-in-class services and infrastructure when it comes to healthcare. Nothing could have demonstrated this better than the manner in which the global COVID-19 pandemic was managed in Dubai. Not just the pandemic, the ability and potential of the initiative to tackle any emergency health situation became amply evident during the time.[COMMENT BY: Sharmila Dhal, UAE Editor] Image Credit: WAM

MANCHESTER UNITED HIT THE RESET BUTTON: Manchester United’s pre-season training begins today and new coach Erik ten Hag will be watching his players very closely to see if they have what it takes to help reset the club ahead of the new campaign. Much has been said about the former Ajax coach but now isn’t the time for talk, it is time for work. Is he the right man to get United back to winning ways, something they have not experienced ever since Sir Alex Ferguson stepped as manager in 2013? Time will well. But right now, he will be keen to see what kind of squad he has inherited and which areas he needs to strengthen ahead of the big kick off in August. United will definitely be making several transfers this summer and if they can get their number one target, Frenkie de Jong from Barcelona, it would help appease the fans and give Ten Hag a solid foundation to build on.
