ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates - Tuesday, July 21st 2015 [ME NewsWire]

Over the week, the Abu Dhabi Police’s Mobile Dental Care Unit provided dental check-ups for citizens at the Al Bateen and Al Zaab majlis halls in Abu Dhabi. The services included educating the citizens on maintaining oral hygiene and urging them to have regular check-ups.

Major General Khalil Dawood Badran, Director General of Finance and Services at Abu Dhabi Police, said that the Mobile Dental Care Unit provides its public services in Abu Dhabi as per the instructions of Lt. General HH Sheikh Saif Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior; which call for the provision of the best medical services to the public. “The unit, which is part of the ‘Plants of Hope’ initiative, will continue to provide services throughout the various areas of Abu Dhabi,” he said.

Colonel Jassim Al Tunaiji, Director of the Medical Services Department at Abu Dhabi Police, explained that the staff members of the unit conducted oral and dental examinations to diagnose infections and to detect an early onset of gum tumors at the Al Bateen and Al Zaab majlis halls. The staff members additionally performed cleaning procuderes and dental fillings, provided medical advice, and distributed pamphlets about dental care.

“The staff of the Mobile Dental Care Unit implementing the outreach program conducted dental examinations and educated the public about oral hygiene, how to properly care for their teeth, and the importance of regularly visiting to the dentist in order to prevent cavities and gum diseases,” said Col. Jassim Al Tunaiji.

“The unit saves both time and money through the provision of dental examinations that are conveniently located and eliminate the need to travel long distances for a check-up,” he said. “The medical team onboard the mobile unit uses the latest medical equipment to provide the dental examinations to all members and segments of society regardless of age. They are available to answer any inquiries that the public may have in regards to dental and oral hygiene, and endeavor to identify each individual’s oral health status through the provision of medical dental screening programs and field medical services. If necessary, the team will refer some cases to hospitals.”

According to Col. Jassim Al Tunaiji, members of the public benefit from the advice given by the medical staff and from the fully-equipped unit that is capable of diagnosing dental diseases. “Through the wide participation of the public with the Mobile Dental Care Unit, a culture of dental care is growing,” he said; mentioning how the unit expands the scale of services provided by the Abu Dhabi Police. “The Mobile Dental Care Unit offers the capability to provide police services for community members, which includes medical services, both in public areas and residences.”

Decrease in Abu Dhabi Traffic Accidents during Ramadan

ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates - Thursday, July 23rd 2015 [ME NewsWire]

According to the statistics issued by the Traffic and Patrols Directorate at the Directorate General of Central Operations at the Abu Dhabi Police, there were a total of 130 accidents in Abu Dhabi during the month of Ramadan, a drop from the 165 incidents during the same period last year.  The statistics also revealed that the death rates witnessed from the various types of accidents also decreased, down from the 25 deaths last year during Ramadan to a total of 17 this year.

Colonel Hamad Mubarak bin Athath Al Ameri, Head of the Capital’s Traffic Department at the Abu Dhabi Police Traffic and Patrols Directorate attributed the decrease to the efforts of the concerned authorities, and most notably, to their efforts in intensifying control and increasing traffic awareness. According to Col. Al Ameri, the decision to ban trucks from entering Abu Dhabi during peak times also contributed to reducing traffic accidents alongside the cooperation of the public and help of various charities in providing Iftar meals and beverages to motorists in a bid to prevent drivers from speeding.

According to Col. Al Ameri, the main causes of traffic accidents throughout the holy month of Ramadan were due to failure to leave a sufficient distance between vehicles, precarious lane changes, neglectfulness and lack of paying attention, running red lights, speeding, and among others, failure to consider the road conditions.

He stressed the importance of complying with traffic laws and regulations, driving carefully, keeping a safe  distance between vehicles, avoiding blocking traffic due to haphazardly parking in public parking spaces. He warned them against parking in spaces dedicated to people with special needs, and not to park in spaces designated for civil defense or ambulance and rescue teams, as this will hinder their abilities during emergency situations. He additionally urged motorists to avoid using their mobile phones while driving, whether to talk, SMS, or chat.

GSMA Welcomes African Support for Mobile Broadband Growth

African Telecommunications Union Takes Important Step Towards WRC-15

LONDON - Friday, July 24th 2015 [ME NewsWire]

(BUSINESS WIRE)-- John Giusti, Deputy Chief Regulatory Officer, GSMA, commented on the outcome of the final meeting of the African Telecommunications Union (ATU) in Nairobi, ahead of this November’s World Radiocommunication Conference (WRC-15):

“The GSMA welcomes the strong decisions that African governments took at this week’s meeting of the ATU to foster the growth of mobile broadband across the continent. By coming together and agreeing unified proposals, they have shown their support for making more spectrum available to meet the mobile broadband needs of their citizens.

“The upcoming WRC-15 conference in Geneva will determine what spectrum bands will be allocated for mobile services. These decisions will determine the future of the mobile internet. This is particularly important for Africa, the world’s fastest growing mobile region, where mobile broadband is often the only way for people to access the internet. Additional spectrum will be vital in providing the capacity needed to support mobile broadband growth across the region and help bridge the digital divide.

“The ATU is a highly influential member of the international community and decisions coming out of Africa are increasingly shaping policy in other regions. The GSMA is, therefore, pleased with the ATU’s decision to support the L-band for mobile. This band has the potential for widespread global support at WRC-15, driving economies of scale that will benefit consumers in Africa and elsewhere.

“There is more work to be done to ensure there is sufficient spectrum allocated for mobile broadband. Increased support for an allocation in the sub-700MHz UHF band, which offers good geographic coverage, will be essential for connecting rural communities in Africa.

“There is also a need for higher frequency spectrum to meet the intense urban capacity demands and give city dwellers in Africa access to high-speed mobile broadband. African governments have made progress on recognising this growing need and we encourage final decisions to allocate more spectrum to mobile in these capacity bands, specifically 2.7-2.9GHz and 3.6-3.8GHz.

“This November, we will urge all the governments of Africa to make a clear and strong call for significantly more mobile spectrum to realise the ambitions of a digital economy and to create a truly connected society.”
