Abstract: The SARS-COV-2 pandemic has brought unparalleled challenges to healthcare provision. Being a newly discovered virus, there is a lack of previous experience and published evidence to guide healthcare providers on how to deliver services. We would like to share our approach to service delivery in a newly open children's hospital in the United Arab Emirates with a particular focus on paediatric orthopaedic services.<br /> (Copyright © 2021.
