Emirates airline has expressed gratitude to healthcare professionals around the world.
"From our heroes to yours, 'Thank You'. On #WorldHealthDay, we express our gratitude to all healthcare professionals worldwide who are at the frontline. The Emirates Group stands with you at this critical time by flying much needed medical supplies across the globe", the airline said in a tweet on its official Twitter account.

The airline had its employees hold placards, saying 'Thank You' in various languages, to express appreciation for the medics.
Emirates resumed its special flights after suspension, with the first flight taking off from Dubai International on Monday morning and landing in Frankfurt in the afternoon.
Emirates earlier this week received approvals to commence special flights from April 6 from Dubai to five European cities of London, Frankfurt, Paris, Brussels and Zurich, with four flights a week to London Heathrow, and 3 flights a week to the other cities.
Along with outbound passengers from the UAE, the flights also carried belly-hold cargo in both directions, supporting trade and communities with the transport of essential goods.
However, it was not revealed how many passengers were onboard the first flight. Thousands of passengers from different countries who wish to go back home are currently in the UAE.
Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, Chairman and Chief Executive, Emirates Airline and Group, earlier said that these initial passenger services are limited to travellers who meet the entry requirements set by the destination countries.
