Over the past few days, many people across the UAE have been closely watching developments in the region. For many, this has been an uncertain and worrying time, and we recognise that for those living and working here this is not simply “business as usual”.

The UAE is home to Iqarus’ regional headquarters and to many of our colleagues and their families. Like everyone in the country, we continue to follow the guidance of the UAE authorities and remain confident in the leadership and stability they provide during periods of regional tension.

At the same time, our operational teams continue to deliver uninterrupted medical support to the organisations and workforces who rely on us.

Across our programmes in the Middle East, Afghanistan and Somalia, our clinicians, logisticians and operational staff remain focused on the same mission they carry out every day: ensuring safe and reliable access to medical care for people working in complex and challenging environments.

Healthcare delivery in these settings relies on preparation, professionalism and trusted partnerships.

We remain grateful to the UAE for the stability and support it provides, enabling organisations like ours to continue delivering medical services where they are needed most.

Supporting community health in Nagaland means working with the seasons, the terrain, and the realities of daily life in remote villages.

Through our ongoing Health Education Project in the Tening District, delivered in partnership with Naruda and Global Support Link, the focus remains simple: practical healthcare, delivered consistently, where access is limited.

Between October and December 2025, our team was able to reach 6 remote villages where 480 people, including 83 children, took part in health education sessions and basic clinical checks.

The work centred on prevention and early detection, including hygiene, nutrition, dental care, lifestyle-related health risks, and self-care practices. Alongside basic screenings such as blood pressure and blood sugar checks, free medicines and personalised advice were provided by our program nurse to help community members better manage ongoing health issues.

Reaching some locations is never straightforward. One visit involved a 4-hour roadside delay following a vehicle breakdown enroute to one of the most remote villages, but the team continued the visit as planned.

As the project continues, the next phase will focus on reaching additional villages, deepening trust with communities, and expanding education around long-term wellbeing and sustainable livelihoods.

In remote communities, consistency matters as much as care. Showing up, season after season, and supporting communities to take ownership of their health, with local partners leading the way.

Damage Control Resuscitation (DCR): Life-saving care when seconds matter.

In high-stress, high-stakes environments, DCR is the frontline response to major trauma.

Our teams deliver immediate interventions to stabilise patients, reduce blood loss, restore tissue perfusion and oxygenation, mitigating further deterioration.

From airway and circulation management to seamless handover for surgical care, every step is tailored to the patient and the environment.

Bleeding controlled.
Oxygen delivered.
Lives saved.

Iqarus specialises in delivering DCR where others can’t — ensuring the best chance of survival, even in the most austere settings.

They are the vital link between incident and hospital — delivering advanced, life-saving interventions when timing matters most.

Proud to see International SOS leading this important discussion with the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI) on European Medical Provision in Times of War.

The roundtable brought together experts from academia, industry, government, and the voluntary sector to explore how Europe’s healthcare systems can be strengthened through national resilience planning and implementation of NATO’s Medical Action Plan.

As European militaries ready themselves for war, creating resilient medical systems remains an afterthought for the UK.
