The UAE embassy in Canada has donated US $10,000 to the Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids), in memory of a Canadian nurse who worked in the UAE for 38 years. Affectionately nicknamed ‘Doctora Latifa’ meaning mercy, Gertrude Dyck was one of the first foreigners to work as a nurse in Al Ain. She was a midwife to many of the 90,000 babies born at the city's Oasis Hospital, after it opened in 1960. Gertrude Dyck died in British Columbia at the age of 75 on October 17, 2009.
