Dubai: Young Emiratis are already answering their country’s call to serve on the frontline of emergency medical services, as UAE health chiefs praise the “extremely positive” response to a new initiative aimed at drawing more nationals into the vital care sector.
\r\nNational Ambulance launched its Emirati Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) program in May, in collaboration with the University of Sharjah and Australia’s Charles Sturt University, with the aim of recruiting up to 35 UAE high-school graduates in the Northern Emirates to bolster the country’s health workforce. |
