Sharjah Ruler directs to continue treatment of citizen

His Highness Dr Sheikh Sultan Bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah, directed the Sharjah Health Authority to continue the treatment of the father of "Umm Mohammed," a follower of the "Direct Line" programme broadcast by the Sharjah Broadcasting Authority, at Burjeel Hospital in Abu Dhabi, with Sheikh Sultan’s office covering the treatment costs, regardless of insurance coverage.

Dr Abdul Aziz Al Muhairi, Chairman of the Sharjah Health Authority, stated during the programme hosted by Mohammed Al Raeesi that Sheikh Sultan listened to the message sent by "Umm Mohammed," in which she appealed for her father’s continued treatment at the hospital, where he has been for a year and five months.

She noted that the insurance company had stopped covering the treatment expenses.

D. Al Muhairi added Sheikh Sultan directed the authority to take the necessary steps to ensure the father’s continued treatment at Burjeel Hospital or transfer him to the University Hospital in Sharjah if the family prefers. Accordingly, Burjeel Hospital was notified that the office of His Highness the Ruler of Sharjah will cover the treatment costs for the case.
