Shortage of human resources in the medical field and lack of research is a source of concern in the country and globally, as well, said the UAE's Minister of Health and Prevention, Abdul Rahman bin Mohammed Al Owais. He said this not only includes physicians, but all technical staff in the medical field.
While speaking at a session titled Future of Healthcare, a Minister's Point of View at the Dubai Health Forum on Monday, the minister said the issue had been raised at the Sir Baniyas ministers' retreat a few years ago.
His Highness Shaikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai also attended the forum.
We spoke about two sectors in this retreat - education and health - and lack of research was a major topic of discussion, said Al Owais. However, he added that from 2007 to 2016, research and studies had gone up four times. "This is a qualitative leap."
