As the world fights the novel coronavirus, the Ruler of Dubai took to Twitter to highlight the importance of the healthcare sector.
His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, described the healthcare sector as the "main power that shapes the economy and politics".
The world has long been questioning where the true power lies. Does economy drive politics or the other way around? The coronavirus spread has shown that healthcare is the main power that shapes the economy and politics at a time when a disease brought nations to a standstill.
