Morag Cromey-Hawke, Executive Director of Operation Smile UAE, expressed gratitude to the medical volunteers, Healthpoint staff, management, and the Department of Health – Abu Dhabi for their support. She emphasized the positive impact of these surgeries, enabling patients to eat, drink, speak, and socialize, ultimately leading to healthier and happier lives. The partnership with Healthpoint has provided excellent facilities for patients and demonstrated generosity and care towards their well-being.
