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.”

Mangaluru: Teacher booked for allegedly beating student in school
Vittla (Dakshina Kannada): A case has been registered at the Vittla Police Station against a school teacher on charges of seriously assaulting a student with a cane at an English-medium school in Idkidu village here near Vittla in Dakshina Kannada district.
According to the complaint, the student, who attends the school regularly, had gone to school as usual. Around 2 pm, the child’s parents received a call from the school office stating that their child had allegedly disturbed other students. The school informed them that when the teacher scolded the student over the issue, the child became frightened and urinated, and the parents were asked to come and take the child home.
The parents reportedly told the school staff that no one was at home at the time and requested that the child be sent home in an autorickshaw.
After returning home, the student told the parents that a teacher identified as Istikaar had beaten him severely on the hand with a cane. The child also said that he urinated out of fear while the assault was taking place.
When the parents contacted the teacher over the phone to question him about the incident, he allegedly responded in a dismissive manner.
Following this, the parents lodged complaints with the Vittla Police Station and the Child Development Project Office, seeking justice and strict action against the teacher for allegedly assaulting the child without any valid reason.
Police have registered a case against the teacher and have taken up further investigation.
