Advice TopicThe UAE government strives to provide support, development and welfare to senior citizens. As such, we seek to identify to which extent all community members are aware of the services, activities and initiatives provided for 'senior citizens' by the Ministry of Community Development and get acquainted to the most used services by them. Our purpose is to improve those services thus contribute to their wellbeing. Goal Of Consultation
|
About 49% of the respondents have information about the services
provided to senior citizens, and 51% of the respondents do not have the same
information about the services, which requires increased dissemination and
awareness about the services provided by the Ministry of Community Development
through the approved communication channels.
The most benefited service for senior citizens was "Massarra
Card" with a percentage of 22% of the total answers, followed by the other
services provided by Senior Citizens Happiness Center in Ajman and "We are
your family" service. It is noted that about 11% of the participants did
not benefit from the rest of the other services provided by the Ministry of
Community Development to senior citizens, this necessitates the importance of
spreading awareness among members of the community about the availability of
these services.
On the other hand, we foresee the need to increase additional benefits and
discounts to be included in the card services, searching and comparing with other
cards such as: Fazaa, Thukhur, Esaad, and the capability of combining all
services into one gold card.
