Hats off to the Dubai government which always believes in the wellbeing of senior citizens. The government always keeps elders, senior citizens on its priority list (“Dubai is committed to providing senior citizens with services, support and care, says Sheikh Hamdan,” June 1, Gulf Today website).

According to the report, Sheikh Hamdan Bin Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Chairman of The Executive Council of Dubai, accompanied by Sheikh Ahmed Bin Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Second Deputy Ruler of Dubai, visited Thukhor Social Club, an initiative of the Higher Committee for Development and Citizens Affairs, located at Al Safa Park in Dubai. Sheikh Hamdan said His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, places the highest priority on ensuring the wellbeing of senior citizens.

There is no doubt that senior citizens are valuable sources of knowledge gained from their deep life experiences. Their wisdom is vital to shape a bright future for the nation.

I would like to appreciate the efforts and care taken by the Dubai government to ensure the wellbeing of elders and senior citizens.
