In 1943, a small healthcare centre was opened in Al Ras area in Dubai. In 1951, under the patronage of Sheikh Saeed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the then Ruler of Dubai, the first phase of the Al Maktoum Hospital was built and continued over succeeding years until a 157-bed hospital was completed. According to Prasanth Manghat, CEO and executive director, NMC Health Plc, the healthcare sector was in primitive state at the time of formation of the country.
Taher Shams, managing director, Zulekha Healthcare Group, said: "The Zulekha Healthcare Group found its roots in 1964 when its creator Dr Zulekha Daud moved from India to Sharjah in order to pursue her dream of serving people in need and offer affordable medical facilities to all." Zulekha Hospital was first established in Sharjah in 1992.
"The healthcare division of the group started its operations in 2002, with the setting up of the 250-bed Thumbay Hospital in Ajman, which was the first private academic hospital in the region. Eventually, our healthcare division went on to establish a network of nine academic hospitals at multiple locations in the UAE, in addition to a network of 11 family clinics, five diagnostic labs and around 60 retail pharmacies," said Dr Thumbay Moideen, founder president, Thumbay Group.
As we progress through the Fourth Industrial Revolution, it is no longer about 'fixing' anymore - it is about protecting your health, maintaining your health and improving your health. The life-threatening diseases of today are unlikely to exist 50 years from now - there will be self-driving cars, and hence there will be massive reductions of accidents and trauma cases. There are assumptions that with 3D organ printing, even if cancer attacks your cells and your organs, we can just 'replace' the broken part with new and young improved parts to enhance oneself."
