Dr Azad Moopen, founder and chairman of DM Healthcare, is a renowned physician-turned-entrepreneur based in the UAE. Five years after passing his MD exams in 1987, Moopen came to Dubai and set up his own clinic.
Over the next 20 years, he established a chain of healthcare facilities across Asia and the Gulf, under DM Healthcare (Dr Moopen Healthcare), which today employs about 2,000 people in the Gulf, and serves more than 3 million patients a year.
Last year, DM Healthcare announced an investment of $461m to provide 3,100 hospital beds in Kerala via eight different projects. One of the project is Aster Medcity, a hi-tech healthcare destination being developed in over 40 acres of land that integrates nature with healing, in Kochi. The first phase of Aster Medcity is on track for commissioning during the second half of 2013.
