Gulf Today, Staff Reporter

One of the UAE’s leading private academic healthcare institutes, Thumbay Hospital Ajman, on Tuesday celebrated 20 years of its commitment to redefining healthcare services in the country. Founder president of Thumbay Group Dr Thumbay Moideen graced the occasion with his presence.

In celebration of its 20th anniversary, Thumbay Hospital Ajman has unveiled the cheapest delivery package, which has been one of the hospital’s distinctive features contributing to its growth journey since its inception in 2002.

The comprehensive maternity package covers specialist gynaecologist consultation along with free delivery booking and antenatal class. Priced at Dhs4,499 (normal delivery) and Dhs7,499 (C-section delivery), the package has been designed to diagnose, monitor, and prevent health problems and help each expecting mother to lead a healthier life.

“Thumbay Hospital Ajman has been one of the greatest success stories in the history of healthcare and education by the grace of Almighty,” said Dr Thumbay Moideen, founder president of Thumbay Group, UAE.

“We are excited to embark on our new period of growth together with our community of over 3,500 professionals striving to raise the bar in terms of clinical excellence, training of health professions students and launching new programmes to further bridge gaps and provide pathbreaking healthcare that benefits the country at large, as we reach new heights in the next 20 years and beyond.”

In 2002, being confronted with the challenge of providing adequate clinical training opportunities for Gulf Medical University's students facilitated the establishment of the first private teaching hospital in the region, Thumbay Hospital Ajman. Since then, the Thumbay Hospital network has grown to become a unique ecosystem of futuristic medical education, state-of-the-art healthcare, and cutting-edge research.

A healthcare landmark in the UAE, today the group's healthcare network has the distinction of being the biggest chain of private academic hospitals, treating patients from as many as 175 countries and conducting more than 80,000 deliveries.

Thumbay Group’s Healthcare Division operates 8 academic hospitals, with facilities that include 800 inpatient beds, 10 family clinics/ Medical Centre, 5 diagnostic labs, and 46 retail pharmacy outlets and First Drive through Pharmacy options.

Over the last two decades, Thumbay Hospital Ajman has achieved significant milestones in improving the health of the UAE’s community through consistent outreach and educational initiatives. With the ‘Free Mega Medical Health camps’ conducted across all the hospitals and clinics of the group, which is just one of many programmes at the centre, it has led the community to take a very important step towards a better quality of life and quite possibly, a longer life, helping establish a connection between medical, nutrition and significance of regular screenings to prevent illnesses.

Dr Thumbay Moideen concluded: "As we look to the next decade and beyond, fuelled by our success to date, we are determined to strengthen our role as a hub of healthcare delivery and centre of health professions students’ training, and the UAE’s position as an international hub for medical excellence, in line with the visionary plans of our national leaders."
