It was launched on Saturday under the banner "Don't Worry".

Mobile buses equipped with field and virtual health education technology will deliver the message nationwide.

The Department of Municipalities and Transport, Abu Dhabi City Municipality, the General Women's Union and Emirates Giving are among many entities involved in the drive.
