The United Arab Emirates on Sunday sent a plane of urgent medical supplies to Senegal to mitigate the effects of the fire that broke out in the neonatal department at the Mame Abdou Aziz Sy Dabakh Hospital in the city of Tifwani, north of the capital Dakar, which killed 11 newborns.
The plane carried medical supplies for the maternity and neonatal wards, in addition to beds and equipment for operating rooms and midwifery groups, including medications and first aid kits.
Sultan Ali Al Harbi, UAE Ambassador to Senegal, said that the medical aid dispatched today reflects the long-standing relations between the UAE and Senegal, which date back to the mid-seventies across several economic and development fields.
The ambassador affirmed the keenness of the UAE leadership to assist all countries and enhance their ability to address humanitarian crises and alleviate their impact.
