Dr Shamsheer Vayalil began his career as a humble radiologist at Sheikh Khalifa Medical City in Abu Dhabi. Today, he is the managing director of VPS Healthcare and has successfully stewarded the group from being a single hospital to an end-to-end healthcare provider with a rapidly expanding global footprint.
VPS Healthcare is one of the UAE’s fastest growing integrated healthcare service providers, with 23 hospitals and 13,000 employees spread across the Middle East, Europe, UK and India. The company’s 13 brands include Burjeel, Lifeline, LLH, Lifecare and Medeor 24×7. The majority of VPS’s facilities are in the GCC, including the flagship Burjeel Hospital in the UAE. The firm has also developed a $1.5bn expansion at Mohammed Bin Zayed City, a world-class tertiary-care complex.
Vayalil is also the vice chairman and managing director at Amanat Holdings, a Dubai-headquartered firm that invests in healthcare and education businesses. It reported a 40 percent rise in its full-year net profit in 2019 as its income from investments rose and expenses fell.
