The awards covered more than 50 categories, including clinical excellence, surgical innovation, public health, wellness leadership, education, research and patient care. Organizers also recognized 15 UAE nationals for their growing role in the country’s healthcare system.
Sheikh Nahyan said the awards honor people and institutions whose skill and dedication strengthen healthcare in the UAE.

He urged young Emiratis to follow the example of the national winners and pursue careers in medicine.
He thanked the families of the winners during the Year of the Family and said artificial intelligence is helping doctors detect disease, though it cannot replace compassion or ethical judgment.
