UAE's Adbhut is making amazing music that belongs to everyone
In a world that often defines people by their limitations, Adbhut — meaning 'amazing' in Hindi — flips the narrative. Formed in early 2023, this groundbreaking band of young adults of determination is redefining what it means to be a musician, a performer, and a changemaker. They're not just playing music — they're playing with purpose, proving that talent knows no bounds. The spark behind this quiet but powerful movement came from Neena Raina, a certified neuro-linguistic programming coach, hypnotherapist, inclusion advocate, and mother determined to create space for her son Varun's musical gift to shine. The result is Adbhut — not a novelty act, but a bold statement: art belongs to everyone. 'Adbhut isn't about sympathy,' Neena says. 'It's about building livelihoods, dignity, and a future where inclusion is the norm — not the exception.' Each member of Adbhut brings their own melody to this extraordinary symphony: Varun Raina's musical journey is a story of determination. Diagnosed with autism and non-verbal until age 11, Varun found his voice in music long before he could express it in words. Today, his deep love for both Indian classical and Western music is reflected in his rich vocal performances. A graduate in Hindustani classical music from Prayag University, Allahabad, and a certified vocalist under the ABRSM curriculum, he has performed across the UAE and continues to win hearts with every note. He has also done three years of professional film acting courses. 'Music makes me feel free,' says Varun, now 25. 'It's how I tell the world who I am.' Lead drummer Raihan Mohammed Aslam showed his interest in music by tapping to any song from as early as two. He was gifted his first drum set by his cousin Naeem—and the rest is history. He began formal training with Mr David Kinyanjui at Melodica Music School and later became part of the school band. He rose to prominence after being placed second in a competition against 120 neurotypical children. Now 18, Raihan is pursuing a BTEC in Business from CIS Dubai and recently passed Grade 7 Drums from Trinity College London with distinction. His parents, Aslam and Zameera, have been his constant pillars of support. 'His rhythm is his voice,' they state in unison. 'And now, the world is finally listening.' Diagnosed with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder and other learning difficulties, keyboardist Rashan David's musical potential emerged early. Around age five, his school teachers noticed his keen interest in music during lab sessions and encouraged his parents to explore it further. A small keyboard and a dedicated teacher set him on a lifelong path of musical discovery. Despite challenges in mainstream schooling, Rashan persevered. He recently completed a degree in Business Management with Data Analytics and has over 11 years of formal music training, including advanced piano studies. 'Music helped Rashan focus,' says his father David. 'It gave him structure, joy, and a sense of identity.' Aisiri Shetty, the band's powerhouse female singer, has her base in Carnatic music. Whether harmonising with Varun or commanding solos, her voice is both grounding and transcendent—proof that talent knows no bounds. 'She first sang on stage when she was 10. She had never performed as a singer before. When the opportunity came, she stepped up with incredible confidence. We were so nervous, our hearts were pounding — but she showed no fear. That performance changed everything. It gave me confidence in her. She showed me she could do more than I ever expected and that was the beginning,' says her father Roshan Shetty. For Manonmani, the long drive from Abu Dhabi is a small effort compared to the joy of seeing her son, Hari Niranjan, thrive. A Grade 11 CBSE student at Asian International Private School, Al Dhanna, Hari showed early sensitivity to sound, which blossomed into a deep love for music. What began as a quiet connection became a powerful form of expression and confidence. During the pandemic, he taught himself to play the flute recorder through YouTube tutorials. Today, he's a dedicated member of Adbhut, the UAE's first inclusive music band. 'For Hari, it's not just about performing—it's about belonging and being heard,' says Manonmani. 'Watching him grow into a confident, joyful young man has been the most rewarding experience of my life.' Backed by a village Since its inception, Adbhut has performed at festivals, cultural programmes, and corporate events across the UAE—including standout moments at the Museum of the Future and UAE's Got Talent. Each performance is not just a musical showcase, but a celebration of ability, diversity, and resilience. Behind Adbhut's success lies a dedicated community of mentors, parents, educators, and volunteers. People like Sowmya Krishnamachari, a seasoned vocalist and event organiser, have played an instrumental role in shaping the band's musical direction. With her understanding of both music and special needs, she helps bridge the gap between talent and opportunity — selecting songs, arranging practices, and nurturing the group's cohesion. Having organised inclusive events like Choti Si Aasha at AR Rahman's Firdaus Studio in Expo city, Sowmya now plays a pivotal role in identifying talent, connecting the dots, and polishing these performers for the stage. 'She understands their capabilities and brings out their best,' shares Neena. 'She's not just a mentor — she's a bridge.' Also vital are the parents, many of whom invest their own time, money, and energy in organizing rehearsals, booking jam studios and ensuring the group meets weekly, either in person or online. Being amazing Adbhut is more than music. It is inclusion in action. 'We are not about charity. We are about change,' Neena explains. 'These young adults are professionals in their own right. With the right support, they can build livelihoods through music. We need society to listen not just with their ears, but with their hearts. These young adults have something important to say—through rhythm, melody, and passion.'

Profmed steps in as 1,800 qualified South Africa doctors face job and healthcare crisis
Far too many doctors, after years of study and service, are left without work, income, or even access to healthcare. This is according to Profmed chief executive officer, Craig Comrie. South African statistics alone reflect that, as of early 2025, between 1,500 and 1,800 doctors who completed their community service were unemployed and unable to secure positions in the public health sector – this, despite healthcare facilities reporting vacancy rates of between 5% and 22%. This stands in stark contrast to the country's dire need for medical professionals. South Africa has an average of just 0.31 doctors per 1,000 people – a figure well below the World Health Organization's recommended minimum of one doctor per 1,000. This mismatch highlights a troubling paradox: newly qualified doctors are struggling to find employment in a system that is simultaneously overwhelmed and understaffed. Supporting young professionals To better support young, qualified doctors and dentists under 30 who are unemployed or recently employed, Comrie is proud to announce the company's new initiative: an offering of 12 months of free medical aid to young, qualified doctors and dentists under 30 who are unemployed or recently employed. To qualify, candidates must have completed their community service in the past two years and either be unemployed or have been employed within the last six months. Furthermore, candidates must register on the finDR platform – a Profmed initiative that places young medical professionals in locum or permanent roles across the country, offers mentorship, and connects them with a community of professionals committed to making a difference. 'This is about more than just medical aid,' says Comrie. 'It's about making sure our young healthcare professionals don't fall through the cracks as they take their first steps into a demanding but vital career. 'We've heard from far too many doctors who, after years of study and community service, are left without work, income, or even the ability to access private healthcare. That's unacceptable, and it's something we're stepping in to change. Providing this kind of support is critical as they transition into the medical profession.' Platform gains traction Profmed officially launched the finDR platform in February 2025. The initial rollout of finDR included an offer of six months of free Profmed medical aid to the first 500 doctors who signed up. Since its launch, finDR has seen significant engagement, with over 560 doctors registering within the first week. The platform's intelligent matching system ensures that placements are aligned with doctors' qualifications, locations, and preferences while making it easier for practices to fill staffing gaps and reduce patient waiting times. "With this new campaign, Profmed is expanding its support and doubling down on its commitment to the country's young professionals," Comrie says. "This offer is our way of saying: you matter. Your career matters. And we're here to help you take that next step, securely and with dignity.' However, Comrie cautions that the need for employment among doctors is even greater than Profmed had anticipated: 'The response to finDR has been phenomenal. With this new campaign, Profmed is expanding its support and doubling down on its commitment to the country's young professionals. "Over 800 qualified doctors have already joined the platform, proving how urgently it's needed."

UAE convoy arrives in Gaza with more than 1,000 tonnes of aid
Live updates: Follow the latest on Israel-Gaza An aid convoy from the UAE has arrived in Gaza carrying more than 1,000 tonnes of food supplies. The aid was sent as part of the UAE's continuing Gallant Knight 3 operation, launched by President Sheikh Mohamed to support Gaza's civilians. The convoy carried approximately 1,039 tonnes of food supplies and flour to address the urgent needs of around 1.3 million people, reported the state news agency Wam. "This latest delivery is part of the UAE's ongoing support for the people of Gaza, who are enduring dire humanitarian conditions amid severe shortages of essential food items," said Wam. Last month, The National reported on a charity organisation in Sharjah's launch of a scheme to deliver fresh bread to Gaza. Under the auspices of Gallant Knight 3, a Dh750,000 monthly budget was allocated to the project being helmed by Sharjah Charity International, as part of an emergency response to the worsening humanitarian situation in the enclave. The war, which is now in its 20th month, has killed more than 54,000 Palestinians, according to Gaza authorities. Hamas is still holding 58 hostages taken during the October 7 attacks, in which 1,200 people were killed. Around a third of the captives are believed to still be alive.
