Thumbay University Hospital in Ajman has rapidly established itself as the foremost destination for advanced surgical care in the Northern Emirates. As one of the region's largest academic hospitals, it combines cutting-edge medical technology, internationally trained surgeons, and a patient-first approach—making it the most trusted hub for a wide range of surgical specialties.
What sets Thumbay University Hospital apart is not only the breadth of services offered, but also its commitment to minimally invasive techniques, faster recovery, and better patient outcomes. The hospital has become synonymous with innovation and surgical precision, offering a level of care that rivals global centers of excellence.
One of the recent cases highlighting the hospital's capabilities involved a 60-year-old woman suffering from postmenopausal bleeding and significant pelvic discomfort. She was diagnosed with a large fibroid uterus—equivalent in size to a five-month pregnancy. Multiple medical institutions advised her to undergo an open hysterectomy, a more invasive procedure. However, due to her high BMI, the patient and her family were apprehensive about the risks involved. At Thumbay University Hospital, Dr Amal Hassan Abddelaziz, consultant and her team successfully performed a total laparoscopic hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, enabling the patient to be discharged the very next day and return to her daily routine shortly after—a testament to the hospital's minimally invasive expertise.
In yet another milestone achievement, Thumbay University Hospital became the first in the Northern Emirates to successfully complete a body contouring procedure using advanced VASER ultrasonic liposuction combined with J-Plasma skin tightening technology. This groundbreaking surgery, performed by renowned plastic surgeon Dr Faisal Ameer, consultant at the hospital's Thumbay Institute of Aesthetics (TIA), showcases the hospital's leadership in blending aesthetic precision with medical innovation. It represents a new era of cosmetic surgery in the region, marrying technology and patient care to achieve exceptional results.
Reflecting on these advancements, Akbar Moideen Thumbay, vice-president and board member of Thumbay Group, stated: "Thumbay University Hospital is committed to being the region's benchmark in surgical care—bringing together the best of technology, talent, and compassion. These pioneering cases are a testament to our promise of safe, innovative, and patient-friendly surgeries in the UAE."
With every successful surgery, Thumbay University Hospital reinforces its position as a center of excellence—not just in the Northern Emirates but across the UAE. Patients seeking high-quality, expert-led surgical care are increasingly turning to this world-class facility that continues to deliver medical breakthroughs with a human touch.
