According to a new index, the UAE has been ranked among the top 10 countries showing the best leadership response to the global Covid-19 pandemic.
The study called the Global Response to Infectious Diseases (GRID) index, was created to identify and rank how efficient and effective a country’s leadership is and how prepared its health systems are in tackling the pandemic.
The recently published entitled ‘GRID Index: Tracking the Global Leadership Response in the Covid-19 Crisis’ was curated and released by the Institute of Certified Management Accountants which is based in Australia.
As well as the UAE, countries that ranked highly on the list included New Zealand, Australia, Singapore, Iceland, Finland, Norway, Canada, South Korea, Hong Kong, Sri Lanka, Japan and Taiwan. Conversely nations at the bottom of the ranking for failing to respond well to the crisis have included India, Russia, China, Indonesia, the Philippines, Brazil, and the US.
