Pharmacy College in 1992 attests to his commitment. Recognizing the importance of interdisciplinary
collaboration and a holistic approach to healthcare education, the transformative merger of these
established institutions, along with the recent addition of the College of Nursing in 2023, marks a
significant milestone—the birth of Dubai Medical University.
This evolution aims to establish a comprehensive healthcare education institution offering a diverse
range of programs, from undergraduate to postgraduate degrees, across various healthcare fields. The

inclusive and well-rounded learning experience, impacting the healthcare industry in Dubai and the UAE
positively.
