An article on Dr. Azad Moopen

Trust and care is what makes the world so beautiful. When it comes to taking care of your dear and near ones, Dr. Moopen’s group makes sure that you get the best in healthcare. Headquartered in the cosmopolitan city of Dubai, Dr. Moopen’s group is today one of the leading health care providers in the UAE. With a modest beginning in the year 1987 the group has emerged into a large conglomerate comprising of hospitals, diagnostic centres, polyclinics and pharmacies.
Dr. Moopen’s Group currently operates in UAE, Qatar, Oman and India. Their medical centres in Dubai are spread in various prominent places like Bur Dubai, Deira, Karama, Shaikh Zayed Road, Jumeirah, Al Quoz, Al Aweer, Jebel Ali (Gardens) and Dubai Healthcare City(DHCC). They are also setting up medical centres along with pharmacies in Dubai which are at different stages of completion. The first hospital of the group in Dubai was inaugurated at Mankhool and the second hospital of the group was inaugurated at Safa Park area.

“Right from our first step in the journey towards becoming the leading healthcare provider in GCC and India, the cornerstone of out triangle of care has been quality, accessibility and affordability. We believe that healthy individuals make healthy societies and when health comes first everything else follows. We strive tirelessly to bring advanced health care services and products within the easy reach of people we serve and are dedicated to deliver excellence in health care,” says Dr. Moopen, Chairman and Managing Director of Dr. Moopen’s Group.

How did it all begin?
We entered the field of healthcare in 1987 to bring quality medical care within the reach of people at affordable cost. Besides providing state-of-the-art treatment facilities by harnessing the latest medical innovations, our team is guided by the principle that the human touch plays an important role in health care delivery.

Thanks to the encouragement and support rendered to us by the Rulers, Government officials, Business partners and our loyal customers, we are contributing our share to the delivery of health care in the GCC. Our network of Neighbourhood Family Clinics, Medical and Diagnostic Centres and Medshops is being expanded by the addition of inpatient facilities through hospitals. Further we have expanded into the field of Healthcare Consultancy by establishing an office in the Dubai Healthcare City.

What medical facilities do you provide?
In keeping with the concept of total loving care, we started the Neighbourhood Family Clinics-Medcentre—a concept that defines proximity, comprehensiveness and affordability. At these family clinics a professional team of doctors and paramedics cater to the day-to-day healthcare requirements of residential neighbourhoods.

The Medcentres offer consultation services in General medicine, Paediatrics, Gynaecology, Dentistry, Cardiology, Neurology and Endocrinology, along with advanced laboratory and imaging facilities assure access to more sophisticated diagnosis and treatment.

Medshop is a unique pharmacy retail concept driven by the theme ‘much more than medicines’. Designed to be one-stop-shop for healthcare products, Medshop offers quality medical and allied products at the best prices. These customer friendly shops stock a wide variety of cosmetic, nutritional and baby care products. Systematically shelved, they allow easy over-the-counter service. In addition to easy availability of medicines and allied products, medshops have qualified staff who can guide customers on diet, nutrition, medical equipment etc. Making the Medshop concept more popular is the free home delivery service, a website which offers an exhaustive list of medicines and equipment with pricing, a Pharmacist helpline and detailed FAQ.

A network of hospitals with world class healthcare facilities is a part of my Group’s vision for expansion. This vision has become a reality with Al Rafa Hospital, a 20-bed community hospital providing affordable inpatient care for maternity and surgery. The hospital provides round the clock comprehensive obstetric and gynaecology treatment including antenatal and postnatal care with well contained maternity suite sand neonatal ICU. With two modern modular operation theatres and post-operative intensive care beds, the hospital provides surgical services in general and laparoscopic surgery,, urology, orthopaedics and ENT through in-house and visiting specialists and consultants. The hospital allows operating rights to qualified community doctors. Other facilities include laboratory, radiology and imaging services and in-house pharmacy.

What are the future plans?
By 2010, Dubai Healthcare City will become a globally acknowledged location of choice for healthcare and a centre of excellence for specialist medical services, medical education, life science research and technology leveraged healthcare services. My group is proud to be a part of this futuristic vision with its widely acclaimed initiative. Eurohealth Systems—catering to a global audience of professionals by offering a gamut of top-level management services.

Meeting the never ending demands for high calibre personnel with relevant industry exposure poses a significant challenge to modern day healthcare service providers. Our consultancy division—emedhr.com provides solutions to all health care related recruitment needs by carefully analyzing client profiles and requirement specifications—thus ensuring effective human resource management.

Proven expertise coupled with the experience of successfully managing a network of facilities places my group in a position to offer consultancy services to investors in the health care sector.
