Aster DM Healthcare unveiled ongoing projects, with investments totaling Dhs1 billion, aimed at providing world-class healthcare locally in the UAE and redefining the future of healthcare for the country's residents.

Aster DM Healthcare is one of the largest and fastest-growing integrated healthcare providers in the GCC, with its integrated model currently comprising 15 hospitals, 126 clinics, and 338 pharmacies in the Middle East, serving all segments of society with a focus on delivering high-quality care.

Supported by the myAster app, the region's leading omnichannel healthcare application, the group is expanding its services to reach 75 million people annually over the next five years, compared to 17.6 million people currently.

Dr. Azad Moopen, Founder and Chairman of Aster DM Healthcare, said, "For nearly four decades, Aster has been guided by one goal: to provide high-quality healthcare to every community we serve. Today's announcement reflects our unwavering commitment to the UAE, which has always championed innovation, excellence, and placing the patient at the heart of healthcare."

Alisha Moopen, Managing Director and CEO of Aster DM Healthcare Group, stated during her speech at the World Health Exhibition 2026, "Our Dhs1 billion project is not just about adding beds or infrastructure, but about enabling world-class care pathways locally, supported by technology, specialised competencies, and an integrated patient experience."

Aster DM Healthcare Group had announced plans to open two new multi-specialty hospitals in Dubai, one in Studio City and the other in Discovery Gardens, adding more than 250 beds to the group's current capacity in the UAE, which stands at approximately 920 beds.
