Thumbay Group today broke ground on the Thumbay Psychiatric and Rehabilitation Hospital at Sharjah Healthcare City, a 110,000 square feet, 120-bed facility set to become the region’s first private, fully integrated hospital dedicated to psychiatric care, neuro-rehabilitation, and addiction recovery. The ceremony was led by H.E. Dr. Abdelaziz Saeed Al Mheiri, Sharjah Executive Council Member and Chairman of the Sharjah Health Authority and Sharjah Healthcare City, in the presence of Dr. Thumbay Moideen, Founder President of Thumbay Group.
The hospital is being built at Sharjah Healthcare City and is designed to address one of the most underserved areas in regional healthcare. <a href="https://menainsights.com/huawei-appgallery-elevates-traditional-baloot-to-esports-status-<a href="https://menainsights.com/celebrate-eid-al-adha-with-a-special-buffet-at-purani-dilli/”>with-20000-tarbi3ah-challenge-finale-in-riyadh/”>With mental health and rehabilitation needs rising sharply across the UAE and the wider Gulf, the facility will offer specialized inpatient and outpatient services that have, until now, required patients to seek care abroad.
Spread across 110,000 square feet, the hospital will house 120 beds, including VIP inpatient villas designed for privacy and long-stay recovery. The campus will include dedicated wings for neuro-rehabilitation, addiction recovery, child and adolescent psychiatry, and mood and anxiety disorders, alongside a Thumbay Masjid open to the public. The project aims to achieve CARF accreditation, the global benchmark for rehabilitation facilities.
On the announcement, H
E. Dr. Abdelaziz Saeed Al Mheiri said:
“This project reflects Sharjah’s commitment to building a healthcare ecosystem that treats every dimension of human well-being. Mental health and rehabilitation have long needed dedicated infrastructure, and we are proud to support a private partner whose vision matches the ambition of this Emirate.”
Dr. Thumbay Moideen, Founder President, Thumbay Group, added:
“We have spent over three decades building healthcare in this region, and the one conversation that has grown louder every year is mental health. Families have been carrying this quietly for too long. This hospital is our answer. It is purpose-built, not retrofitted, and it has been designed around dignity, recovery, and outcomes that families can trust.”
