"I was very moved by the UAE leadership's gratitude and recognition of our efforts, so I felt confident doing my job as per the highest standards."
Looking back, Dr Arshad noted that though wearing the personal protective equipment took a huge toll on him mentally and physically, he, like other frontliners, was committed to saving lives.
"At the National Screening Centre, I treated a critically ill patient who reported breathing problems. When he began to recover, he expressed his gratitude and treated us like his family. It made me feel very emotional and gave me a heightened sense of responsibility."
For the experienced nurse, serving at the Tawasul Facility, Umm Al Quwain drive-through centre and National Screening Centre - Musaffah was a new frontier.
"I felt a host of emotions that were totally new to me. Through hope and prayers, I was able to overcome the challenges. The thoughts of my family kept me optimistic, knowing we will reunite once again."
He recollected many incidents of sharing happy and anxious moments with patients, which are now etched in his memories.
"The most memorable moments were when we had celebratory ceremonies for each of the recovered patients, especially watching their emotional reactions. In my line of work, I am used to seeing life and death. However, during this pandemic, my relationship with patients grew stronger and I witnessed their reliance on us, leaning on us for emotional and mental support. These moments truly moved me and have changed my perspective about my role."
