3/1/24, 1:57 PM Dubai's Gov Games have become a global symbol, says Sheikh Hamdan

Action from the first day of the Gov Games in Dubai, which started on Thursday. Pawan Singh / The National
Hamdah Al Rajaby, 28, a paramedic with Dubai Ambulance, is marking her fifth year of
participation in the games alongside six fellow paramedic team members.

“From my first time taking part it was obvious the games would be more challenging as the years
went by,” she told The National. “So we've learnt to start really, really ahead of time when it comes
to preparation.”

Unlike previous years when team members used to start training three or four months in advance,
this time they began six months early.

Ms Al Rajaby highlighted the effects of the Gov Games on team dynamics and personal
development.

“The games have prompted major lifestyle changes among the team members. We've all been
inspired to lead healthier lifestyles and ensure that working out is an integral part of our daily
routine,” she said.
