Akbar Moideen Thumbay, vice president, healthcare division, Thumbay Group, said: "Neurological disorders require precision, speed, and multidisciplinary expertise. With this institute, we are bringing together all of that under one roof — supported by technology, skilled specialists, and a patient-first approach. This is a major step in enhancing the quality of neuroscience care not just in the UAE, but across the region."

The Thumbay Institute of Neurosciences is built around a multidisciplinary team of neurosurgeons, neurologists, Interventional Radiologist, neurotechnicians, and rehabilitation specialists. Neurology services cover conditions including stroke, epilepsy, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer’s disease, migraines, neuropathy, vertigo, and sleep disorders — supported by advanced diagnostics like EEG, EMG, nerve conduction studies, and neuro-imaging.

On the surgical side, the institute handles complex brain, spine, and nerve conditions using microsurgical and minimally invasive techniques. These include brain tumors, vascular abnormalities, traumatic brain injuries, spinal disorders, and pediatric neurological conditions. Procedures such as cranioplasty, hydrocephalus management, and advanced spinal fixation are performed with precision using neuronavigation technology and intraoperative neuro-monitoring.
