Founder President - Thumbay Group
Dear Readers,
I am delighted to connect
with you once again. Although
hectic, we have had some
exciting times with lots of
events across all verticals of
Thumbay group.
Recently I was in Durban,
South Africa to participate as a
key note speaker in the 37th
Annual Medical Convention
of The Islamic Medical
Association of South Africa
[IMASA]. I had a great time
interacting with leading healthcare leaders and businessmen
from various parts of the world.
I am happy to inform our readers that His Highness Sheikh
Humaid Bin Rashid Al Nuaimi, Member of the Supreme
Council and Ruler of Ajman inaugurated the new Innovation
and Research Centre and the Thumbay Institute of Precision
Medicine and Translational Research (TIPM&TR) at the Gulf
Medical University.
We are proud to announce the new expansion plans of our
hospitals which were unveiled by H.E. Humaid Al Qutami,
Chairman and Director General of Dubai Health Authority. We
will be adding 100 beds, 45 clinics, and 5 centers of excellence
by 2021. The first center of excellence in Orthopedics –
OrthoSpine Center was recently inaugurated at the Thumbay
Hospital, Dubai.
Thumbay Group’s Healthcare and Retail divisions have expanded
their networks of state-of-the-art family clinics and pharmacies
respectively, by opening new Thumbay Clinics and Thumbay
Pharmacies in Fujairah and Dubai. I wish to congratulate my
son Akbar for taking the initiative to launch Thumbay Group
Healthcare Division’s second Multi Specialty ‘Day Care Hospital’
at University City Road, Sharjah in addition to Rolla, where the
first day care facility was launched earlier this year.
Thumbay Hospital, Hyderabad was formally inaugurated by the
Deputy Chief Minister of the State of Telangana H. E. Mahmood
Ali Khan along with the state Health Minister H.E. Dr. C.
Laxma Reddy. Other dignitaries included Members of the State
Assembly, healthcare authorities, and representatives from
various associations who were also present on the occasion.
In another CSR initiative of our group, Thumbay Hospital signed
an MOU with Sharjah Charity International to provide healthcare
services to the employees of Sharjah Charity International and
their dependents. To this effect, I have signed an MoU with H.E.
Abdullah Sultan Bin Khadem, Executive Director of Sharjah
Charity International.
Another entity of our group, The Terrace Restaurant has
launched ‘Share a Meal Campaign’ to offer free food to the
needy at all of its outlets. We welcome all to be a part of this
noble initiative.
Our annual Healthy Baby Contest & Exhibition 2017 was
held at Thumbay Hospital, Dubai. Every year, the contest is
held under my patronage and we are happy to receive very
good response for the event which is growing every year. It
attracted more than 400 babies and 3500 visitors.
Thumbay Olympics was also a great week-long event that
had more than 1500 employees of the Group, including 22
teams from across 18 business verticals competing in 24
games. I was very happy to witness great sportsmanship
among the contestants. We will be inviting other corporates
to be a part of Thumbay Olympics 2018 and we expect
over 3000 participants in the 2018 edition. Similarly, Gulf
Medical University’s Annual Sports Festival 2017, which
is the largest inter-university sports festival in the region,
attracted more than 2000 students from 28 different
colleges and universities, in 226 events across 10 categories.
More than 2000 people attended the annual Global
Day 2017 organized by Gulf Medical University, which
provides students a platform to display the essence of their
ethnicities and cultures. With a motive to spread awareness
about various lifestyle-related diseases, a special fun run
was organized by Body & Soul Health Club and Spa in
Ajman. The marathon is aimed to engage the community to
participate in a healthy and fun event to promote healthy
lifestyle practices and underline the importance of regular
physical activity among the residents of the UAE.
A conference on ‘Recent Trends in Women’s Health’,
Conference on Challenges of Change: Health Insurance
Trends in 2017, a workshop on the Recent Concepts in
Shoulder Management, and the 9th Annual Conference on
the New Era in Dentistry were held during the past two
months. The Center for Advanced Simulation in Healthcare,
in association with Bourn Hall Fertility Center, UK, organized
a workshop on essential ultrasound skills for assisted
reproduction.
Aafiya Premier League (APL) Brokers Cricket Tournament
2017 attracted 16 teams from across the country. All of
the matches were played at the Thumbay Grounds, Al Jurf,
Ajman. Al Nabooda Insurance Brokers were the tournament
champions.
We are looking forward to interacting with you more often,
and we would like to invite you to be a part of our activities
at all levels of the group. Before my next dialogue, We at
Thumbay Group wish all our readers ‘RAMADAN KAREEM’.
