The UAE is one of the countries which have taken successful efforts to halt the spread of the coronavirus. However, given the UAE's worrying levels of Vitamin D insufficiency, the people must pay close attention to thwart fatal repercussions.

Despite actively participating in the endeavor of eradicating this virus, the United States, like many other countries. The UAE is working hard every day to develop ways to prevent this infection from spreading anymore. The UAE is promoting and pushing individuals to pay heed to their Vitamin D levels, as current and modern study has shown that appropriate amounts of Vitamin D are important in fighting the coronavirus.

‘Vitamin D provides direct antiviral effects particularly against enveloped viruses, and coronavirus is an enveloped virus,' stated Dr. Emad Kowatli, Consultant Pulmonologist at Saudi German Hospital Dubai. Vitamin D can control and regulate the immunological and oxidative mechanisms to COVID-19 infection.'

Vitamin D is known to be vital for the skeletal system and to play an important role in immune system surveillance, possibly including immunological responses to viral infection. Dr. Uwe Johannes Nellessen, Consultant Orthopedic Surgeon and Head of Department at SGH Dubai, was singled out for special recognition.

Health researchers and specialists in the UAE have proven that obtaining sufficient vitamin D boosts immunity and therefore illnesses are less likely to harm somebody who has adequate levels of vitamin D in their body. Doctors in the UAE believe that the sun is the best natural source of Vitamin D, and since we have generally warmer temperatures all year, it is simpler to acquire it naturally.

Dr. Sushum Sharma - Internal Medicine Specialist said Vitamin D, also known as calciferol, is among the most important fat-soluble vitamins for health, and as such, it plays an important role in calcium absorption and inflammation reduction.

‘We are dedicated and donating our efforts in building a healthy community,' stated Dr. Reem Osman, Regional CEO of Saudi German Health. As a result, Saudi German Hospital provides reliable screening and health packages for the evaluation of Vitamin D levels.

A professional and qualified team of doctors is monitoring patients with low levels of Vitamin D at Saudi German hospital, while also performing medical examination tests to assess the Vitamin Levels. This testing would not only detect the amounts of Vitamin D in a person's body, but it would also safeguard the person from being susceptible to the coronavirus if the levels are found to be insufficient.

According to Dr. Reem Osman, the objective of this awareness is to completely stop the transmission of the coronavirus and to safeguard individuals from this dangerous virus.
