A discount of 50 per cent will be offered to the family members of the couple taking these health packages.

The healthcare sector has immensely benefitted with this growth. Everyone in the UAE has a chance to grow and fulfil his dreams. The UAE leaders have always believed in reaching out and giving back to the society as a part of their culture.”

He added: “Through this initiative we are following the path of our leaders, this is our way of giving back to the citizens of this country who have been contributors in our growth over the years as well as promote health awareness amongst them.”
