Dr. AlBlooshi said, “Following the footsteps of our late founding father, Sheikh Zayed, who valued every member of society, we in Dubai Healthcare City, wanted to show a token of appreciation for our service staff - the unsung heroes who put in a lot of hard work behind the scenes to maintain our community. As part of our National Day celebrations, our potluck lunch today, conveyed our appreciation towards them, and also manifested the cultural pluralism that the UAE has always been known to exhibit.”

More than 150 outsourced members attended the event, which included staff from Emrill, DHCC’s facilities management partners, and Arkan, DHCC’s security management partners.
