The last few months have been difficult for everyone across the globe. Never had anyone imagined that such a calamity would fall upon them. No one was prepared to face the challenge and its impact, especially in the financial area. H. H. Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Ruler of Dubai has said: “Anyone who thinks that the world after COVID-19 will be the same as the one before it, is mistaken.” As they say, change is the only constant. The world has changed post-COVID-19, and it will keep changing. How will hospitals and clinics use digital technologies efficiently to offer remote diagnoses and treatments? Will distance learning be successful, even for those with special needs? Will technology prove effective in evaluating the performance of employees working remotely? There are many other aspects such as the role of media, the legal framework, future skills, etc. to be considered when adapting to changes in our daily lives. Each sector and the respective governing authority have a role to play in leading the post-COVID-19 transformation. |
