Abu Dhabi’s Danat Al Emarat Hospital for Women and Children, an M42 company, welcomed three Emirati newborns – a girl and two boys – during the first few hours of Eid.

Emirati baby Abdullah, weighing 3.04kg, was born to the Al Zaabi family at 12:12am.

“Baby Abdullah has brought us immense joy and gratitude. We are deeply grateful to have been blessed with this precious gift on the auspicious first day of Eid. We extend our sincere appreciation to the entire team at Danat Al Emarat Hospital for their exceptional care and support extended to my wife and child,” the father said.

The second Emirati newborn was a baby girl weighing 2.87 kg, born at 3am. She became the newest addition to her long-awaiting family.

At 6:21am, the Emirati family AlHanaee welcomed their newborn, who weighed 3.49kg.

“We have decided to name our baby Hamed. We consider ourselves very lucky that our son arrived in good health on this memorable day, doubling our joy. We are incredibly grateful for the compassionate care extended to my wife and our child by the team at Danat Al Emarat Hospital, who managed to make two wonderful occasions even more special,” the father noted.

It fills us with great pride to have reached the milestone of 33,616 births since the first baby was delivered at Danat Al Emarat Hospital in 2015.”
