Ajman: Thumbay Hospital launches new COVID support initiative
January 20, 2022: (Press Release) Thumbay Hospital (THA) in Ajman is now offering cost-effective hospital quarantine packages for novel coronavirus patients, COVID positive people with mild symptoms who are eligible for home isolation or may need to stay with medical observation and sometimes don't have proper arrangements at Home for quarantine. The move aims to curb the spreading of infection, and all the same, help patients that may develop serious manifestations of the infection by providing timely medical care by the experts.
“The patients who are recommended home isolation need a sense of security. It calms them down if they are under clinical supervision,” said Akbar Moideen Thumbay, Vice President – Healthcare Division, Thumbay Group, which has launched hospital care packages starting at AED 650 per day for seven days package and AED 700 per day for 10-days package. “We offered the services to a few patients and received positive feedback. Patients get regular visits by doctors, and nurses and paramedics are also available to ensure constant monitoring,” he added.
The hospital care package launched by Thumbay Hospital is priced at AED 4550 (650) for a period of seven days and AED 7000 (700) for ten days, which includes doctor consultation, medical support, XRay, oral medicines, and meals.
Elaborating on the idea behind the hospital care quarantine stay packages, Dr. Mohammad Faisal Parvez, Chief Operating Officer of Thumbay Hospital, commented, “Strengthening your immune system through multiple approaches – healthy diet, monitoring vitals, and avoiding mental exhaustion – is the most effective strategy to fight the infection. We cater to both young and old, with our USP being that we customize COVID19 meals as per the dietitian’s recommendations. For example, if we have requests for salt-free or diabetic meals, we take care to supply meals that adhere to these specifications. Also, regular visit from the doctors ensures their recovery is being continuously monitored, while further reducing the risk of the virus being transmitted, in line with the UAE’s overall strategy to combat COVID.
The hospital has formulated a comprehensive COVID management excellence committee at the hospital level to ensure proper adherence to ministry guidelines and offer excellent care to patients.”

Google fires over 20 more employees over protest against contract with Israeli govt
San Francisco, Apr 23: Google fired at least 20 more workers in the aftermath of protests over technology the company is supplying the Israeli government amid the Gaza war, bringing the total number of terminated staff to more than 50, a group representing the workers said.
It's the latest sign of internal turmoil at the tech giant centered on “Project Nimbus,” a $1.2 billion contract signed in 2021 for Google and Amazon to provide the Israeli government with cloud computing and artificial intelligence services.
Workers held sit-in protests last week at Google offices in New York and Sunnyvale, California. The company responded by calling the police, who made arrests.
The group organizing the protests, No Tech For Apartheid, said the company fired 30 workers last week — higher than the initial 28 they had announced.
Then, on Tuesday night, Google fired “over 20” more staffers, “including non-participating bystanders during last week's protests,” said Jane Chung, a spokeswoman for No Tech For Apartheid, without providing a more specific number.
“Google's aims are clear: the corporation is attempting to quash dissent, silence its workers, and reassert its power over them,” Chung said in a press release. “In its attempts to do so, Google has decided to unceremoniously, and without due process, upend the livelihoods of over 50 of its own workers.”
Google said it fired the additional workers after its investigation gathered details from coworkers who were “physically disrupted” and it identified employees who used masks and didn't carry their staff badges to hide their identities. It didn't specify how many were fired.
The company disputed the group's claims, saying that it carefully confirmed that “every single one of those whose employment was terminated was personally and definitively involved in disruptive activity inside our buildings.”
The Mountain View, California, company had previously signalled that more people could be fired, with CEO Sundar Pichai indicating in a blog post that employees would be on a short leash as the company intensifies its efforts to improve its AI technology.
