 Let's now move to the Emerald Region, Dr. Barakat, please. Thank you very much, and thank you for inviting me today to participate in this panel. So I think following on from the talks that we've just heard, the WHO Eastern Mediterranean Region consists of 21 countries and one territory. And within the Emerald Region, there were 23 million cases of COVID during the pandemic and reported 348,000 deaths. Of course, we believe this is an underestimate. There are certain countries that weren't fully at capacity in terms of their ability to test, diagnose and to manage the cases. So we suspect the numbers are greater in the Eastern Mediterranean Region. And if you allow me to go into the UAE as a specific example, and then we can explain how within the UAE there were initiatives that helped other regions in Emerald, other countries. So within the United Arab Emirates, where you are today, the population is approximately 10 million people. And in the last almost three years, we've had one million cases of COVID diagnosed by PCR, of whom unfortunately 2,348 passed away. So that gives us a kind of average case fatality ratio of around 0.2%. The way that the country dealt with the pandemic, so the UAE's response, had several pillars in it. But if we can concentrate on some of the most important, and I would say the most important one, was wise leadership at the highest level. So governance at the highest level that was able to coordinate the national response. So the whole of government response, the whole of society response, all coordinated in a seamless manner. I think all too often we see cases where resources may be available, but something goes wrong with the governance or the leadership and you don't get the optimum outcomes. I think leadership is extremely important. Other pillars to the response. Obviously, the infection prevention and control program nationally that's comprehensive, robust, protecting the most vulnerable, protecting frontline workers. You have, I'd say the third pillar is laboratory testing. If you can't diagnose it accurately and quickly, you lose the ability to fight COVID. When you can diagnose it urgently within 24 hours, you can implement your isolation and preventive measures much more effectively. The UAE actually conducted 200 million tests, PCR tests, in the last three years. That's 20 times the size of the population, so on average an individual would have had over 20 tests on average. Then comes vaccination. No country could have protected itself against hospitalization and mortality without an effective vaccination program. The UAE started clinical trials and vaccination as early as summer 2020. By September, there was emergency use of vaccination. By June 2022, the United Arab Emirates had achieved 100% of its target of vaccination of its target groups. I think this is really a key component of a country's ability to reduce hospitalizations and death. Furthermore, last year, the construction started on a local vaccine manufacturing plant that will produce 200 million doses of vaccines. Again, this goes back to the emerald region and Africa and other countries that are in need. These 200 million doses every year will go to support not just the UAE, but the region and other countries in the world. There are other pillars, and if I can, in the interest of time, maybe just concentrate on one more, which is urgent and critical resource mobilization. Both in terms of prioritizing domestic budget towards COVID, getting equipment, mobilized and supplied to hospitals where they need it, and of course human resource. How do you mobilize a team at urgent times with very short notice? The question is, who are these people? Who makes up the front line? The UAE is unique in that His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed launched the Frontline Heroes Office in June 2020, dedicated to looking after all frontline workers in the country, to champion them, to listen to their needs, to support them. And the office set up a registry. The registry has now 135,000 files for each frontline worker. We know their individual circumstances, their personal needs. The office has supported them with education for themselves, for their children with health needs, physical and mental health support. It's worked with the central bank to ease the stress of repaying loans. And for those that are expatriates, they've given them golden visas to help retain them and support them in the country. And for the category of frontline workers that have sacrificed the most, those that have died, we call them the fallen heroes. The office actually has adopted their children and spouses. We look after them. We make sure they have their schooling covered, their healthcare covered, their housing covered. So we don't forget those that have sacrificed the most. And I think my final point is it's not enough just to look within your own country. The United Arab Emirates was one of the first to help internationally. And in the course of the pandemic, over 2,000 tonnes of medical aid has been distributed to 135 countries. So, Mr Chairman, I think in summary, if you ask me what was the most important element of the UAE's response or any other countries, I would say wise leadership. You need wise leadership to coordinate national efforts and to help with urgent and critical resource mobilization. Thank you. Thank you very much. And thank you for that focus on healthcare frontline healthcare workers. I must say I'm not aware of any other country that would have set up a special office dedicated to healthcare workers, reporting basically to the highest level of government.
