partnership with 81 Designs
(Abu Dhabi, UAE) -
Abu Dhabi Health Services
Company (SEHA), the UAE’s
largest health care
provider, announced the
launch of the ‘I am
Committed’ initiative in
collaboration with 81
Designs, a UAE-based social
enterprise. The program aims
to increase awareness of the
government’s efforts to
minimize the spread of the
novel coronavirus (COVID-19)
outbreak, encourage the
community to adhere to the
guidelines and get tested
for COVID-19.
As part of the initiative,
81 Designs will locally
produce wristbands that will
be worn by every person who
gets tested at any SEHA-accredited
screening facility in Abu
Dhabi. A total of 50,000
wristbands are currently in
production with the first
batch of 1,600 ready for
distribution.
Announcing the launch,
Mohammed Hawas Al Sadid,
Chief Executive Officer,
SEHA Ambulatory Healthcare
Services, said “The UAE’s
leadership has taken
exemplary steps to empower
the country’s healthcare
sector and effectively
combat the global pandemic
with country-wide testing,
prevention and preparedness.
These efforts combined with
the solidarity demonstrated
by various private and
public sector entities in
the UAE, in support of the
government's initiatives has
placed the country among the
best in the world in terms
of its response to
COVID-19.”
He further stated, “It is
extremely important to
continue with the concerted
efforts to educate the
community about the
importance of adhering to
the government’s preventive
guidelines, especially
following social distancing
practices to limit the
spread of the virus. The ‘I
am committed’ initiative is
designed to support this
endeavor and we are grateful
to 81 Designs team for
adding a creative layer to
the country’s educational
program with the beautifully
designed wristbands for
individuals who get tested
at a SEHA facility as a
token of their commitment to
the COVID-19 fight.”
Nadine Maalouf, Director at
81 Designs, said, “The UAE
has put in place some
remarkable measures in its
response to the novel
coronavirus outbreak. The
country’s efforts are not
only being recognized
locally but also at an
international level. As
proud residents of the
country, the ‘I am
committed’ wristband is a
small contribution from our
organization to creatively
showcase the importance of
adhering to the actions
taken by the government, and
urging the community to
strictly abide by the
directives.”
Leading from the front in
the country’s
fight against the COVID-19
pandemic, SEHA has
introduced several other
strategic initiatives. These
include the roll-out of 14
drive-through testing
facilities across the
nation. For those looking
for elective testing and for
assurance of being cleared
of the virus, the test is
priced at AED 370 and can be
paid through the SEHA app.
