Advet Bhambhani is reinventing healthcare in the UAE, with his latest plans to establish the first luxury hospital chain in the Middle East and India. Under a new division of Advet Bhambhani Ventures (ABV) called Nucleus Hospitals, Bhambhani plans to open five ‘boutique hospitals’ in the Gulf and India by 2020.
ABV’s flagship holding company Lifeline Healthcare represents UAE-based brands including Lifeline Hospitals, Lifeline Medical Centres, Lifeline Express Clinics, DUA Clinics, 800 Doctor and ION Pharmacies. It already has nine medical centres and three hospitals in the UAE, with plans to expand to Oman, Qatar and eventually further across the Gulf. The group also has the first mobile healthcare service in the UAE and the largest private ambulance fleet in Dubai.
Bhambhani told Arabian Business last year that his company had grown to be worth $300m with 500-plus employees.
He is also executive director of Dubai-based theatrical events company Constellation.
