Celebrating a significant milestone, Thumbay Group marks 26 years of successful business operations in the UAE this August 2024. Established by Dr. Thumbay Moideen in 1997, the group has evolved into a pivotal player in the UAE's healthcare and medical education fields, with Gulf Medical University leading its portfolio. Through relentless innovation, adherence to high-quality standards, and a commitment to community welfare, Thumbay Group has diversified its presence across various sectors over the years.
Reflecting on this journey, Dr. Thumbay Moideen, the founder president of Thumbay Group, stated, "Our 26-year journey in the UAE underscores the robust bilateral ties between India and the UAE, and the immense support we have garnered from the UAE government and its forward-thinking leaders.

He further added, "As we set our sights on Vision 2028, we are enthusiastic about the prospects to expand our global presence and launch new initiatives that will continue to establish industry benchmarks."
The Group's Vision 2028 envisions a fivefold growth, with strategies to launch new institutes and expand internationally through franchising in markets such as Saudi Arabia and Egypt. Gulf Medical University will continue to innovate with new degree programs and international collaborations. The healthcare divisions are planning a comprehensive Oncology Center, an advanced Cosmetology Center, and initiatives in alternative medicine, while enhancing long-term care facilities.
