Thumbay Healthcare launches ‘Marhaba Surgeons’ network

Thumbay Healthcare announced the resounding success of its surgical conference, where 41 doctors were awarded for outstanding service and impact on patient care.

The event also marked the launch of Marhaba Surgeons, a new initiative and the biggest campaign that brings surgeons into one powerful network to teach, collaborate, and deliver advanced care.

The conference — Excellence in Surgery: Advancing Surgical Innovation & Patient Outcomes — offered 8 CME hours and convened leading surgeons, educators, and healthcare professionals for practical sessions and case-led discussions.

Forty-one physicians received honours for their dedication to surgical excellence, community service, and better patient outcomes.

The recognition spanned multiple specialities and highlighted the everyday work that quietly changes lives.

During the ceremony, Dr Thumbay Moideen, Founder President, and Akbar Moideen Thumbay, Vice President, thanked the support of Sheikh Ammar Bin Humaid Al Nuaimi, Crown Prince of Ajman and Chairman of the Ajman Executive Council, and officially launched Marhaba Surgeons under the banner “Where Expertise Meets Opportunity.”

The programme’s promise is simple: connect great surgeons with a system that helps them do their best work — every day.

Marhaba Surgeons offers: A platform that actually moves the needle.

• Stronger networks for peer learning, second opinions, and research ties

• More referrals across an integrated continuum of care

• Greater impact through access to infrastructure and academic pathways

• Operational backbone that includes 24/7 Emergency, fast diagnostics, rehabilitation support, and 12+ surgical specialities — so surgeons can focus on the patient, not the logistics

• 10 state-of-the-art Operating Theatres

• 500 surgeons to join the network making it the biggest hub for surgeries in the country:

Dr Thumbay Moideen said, “Honouring 41 doctors is more than a ceremony — it’s a statement about the standards we expect and the outcomes our communities deserve. Marhaba Surgeons turns that standard into a living network that helps surgeons teach, treat, and transform at scale.”

Akbar Moideen Thumbay added, “This campaign connects surgical talent with real-world capability — emergency readiness, rapid diagnostics, rehabilitation, and multi-speciality support — so every patient’s journey is stronger, faster, and safer.”
