THE world has realised by now that finding a new vaccine is the one and only effective solution to halt coronavirus and the disease (COVID-19) it causes. The global race for vaccine has gained momentum and Qatar spares no effort in its COVID-19 battle to find a vaccine and also in providing the best treatment that proves its medical and health efficiency.
It is with sheer determination and absolute will power Qatar engages in the global goal to find vaccine and the whole healthcare team works tooth and nail to make the dream “COVID-19-free world” a reality.
Qatar is highly confident of getting a vaccine soon and is evident in the words of the Spokesperson of the Supreme Committee for Crisis Management, H E Lolwah bint Rashid bin Mohammed Al Khater, recently. Her Excellency stated that Qatar will be among the first countries to acquire any drug that proves to be effective in treating the illness.
Qatar also offered its willingness to support global efforts to find vaccine and also expressed its happiness to participate in the mission. The nation also called for international collaboration in vaccine development as it will help in future endeavours to develop vaccines during possible emergence of similar diseases.
In fact, Qatar eyes a new medicine which can produce effective results in the treatment of COVID-19 patients during trials. Qatar follows all the global developments in vaccine researches and stays updated. Simultaneously, the nation urges public not to be deceived by false promises and fake news on social media.
By not just waiting for a vaccine, Qatar took all possible measures to curb the menace. By building field hospitals and raising the total number of available beds to 18,000, Qatar was gearing up in advance to face any worse situation. The willingness to provide free treatment to all is noteworthy and the nation has not shown any discrimination in providing treatment to anyone during this crisis. The number of COVID-19 tests Qatar held so far is an ideal example to showcase how effectively the nation moves ahead in its fight. The percentage of recovery among patients is also very high as the quality of care the nation provides is excellent.
The recent experiments in the US on using a new medicine called ‘Remdesivir’ for coronavirus patients were found effective. Qatar is awaiting more results of the experiments and once it shows promising results, Qatar will make it available for the patients here too.
There is no loophole in Qatar’s fight against COVID-19 and is certain that it will bear fruit.
