Her Highness Sheikha Fatima bint Mubarak said: “Families and senior citizens, both Emirati and
residents, will continue to be at the forefront of our efforts, and we will enhance our assistance
for them. Our dedication is to implement more initiatives that improve their standard of living
through an integrated and sustainable social care system. Our efforts will be focussed on
meeting their needs, achieving their goals, and offering them intellectual and emotional
support. We aim to provide a healthy and enriching lifestyle by fostering psychological and
mental wellbeing.”

Her Highness also referred to the 2024 World Happiness Report, which revealed that senior
citizens are among the happiest demographic in the UAE. This signifies the success of the UAE’s
comprehensive development plans and strategic initiatives under the wise leadership, which
places immense value on human dignity and wellbeing.
