His passion, patriotism, and
loyalty to his country
encouraged Ahmed Mohamed Al
Shaibani, a Senior Call
Centre Officer at Al Ain
Hospital (part of SEHA), to
participate in the extremely
important Phase III trial of
COVID-19 inactivated
vaccine. To serve the
country and its people, he
was quick to respond to the
nation’s call to volunteer
for the trials.

deliver on the vision of the

“Involvement of all society
members in such clinical
trials is a national duty,”
Ahmed stressed. “The UAE
community of citizen and

respond to the appeal of the
nation; I still remember
when everyone chanted the
national anthem of the UAE
during the National
Sterilization Program, to
express their commitment and
responsibility towards the
nation,” he said.

working in Al Ain Hospital
for nearly 20 years. He is
