Nakheel supports Dubai's frontline heroes

Property developer Nakheel has supplied Dubai's frontline medical staff with 485,000 items of protective clothing to assist in their fight against COVID-19.

The supplies will benefit doctors and nurses at the Dubai Health Authority.

"We are pleased to help support the medical teams who are among the frontline staff working tirelessly to treat people in need and protect Dubai’s citizens, residents and communities," said the company's spokesperson.
