Short Film Ghadeer Jaber Captures success of First Emirati Woman Pediatric Surgeon
Ghadeer Jaber, the first Emirati pediatric surgeon in the country and holder of German Board in Pediatrics, illustrates her passion to serve humanity by curing children through a short film that will be broadcast on the UAE Government YouTube channel: www.youtube.com/uaegov.
"Children constitute a large segment of the UAE society, yet there are not many specialized pediatric surgeons in the country. I, therefore, felt that I should serve my country through this specialization. These words highlight the turning point of Jabers life, which brought her a lot of support and encouragement from her family and relatives.
The film shows Ghadeer as a surgeon occupied in her humanitarian duty, working for long hours, and how she spends time with her family. It also highlights her moments with her colleagues at work, where she says: The hospital is my second home I cannot live without my current work Surgical operations may continue for 6-8 hours and maybe more It is painstaking and requires a lot of effort But all the troubles vanish with the smile of a mother when you tell her: Your child is fine.
