Additionally, Maternity Leave Support for Women in the Private Sector, Home Visit Service, and Loan Partial Deduction are part of these efforts. These initiatives aim to provide comprehensive support to Emirati families at various stages.

This comprehensive approach underscores the leadership's vision for a society where family stability contributes significantly to overall societal progress and development.
