The former general practitioner was a university medical lecturer for five years before he launched and became the chairman of the Dubai-based Dr Moopen’s Group (now known as the DM Group) in 1987.
Today Moopen’s firm sees up to 40,000 patients from across the GCC and India in any one week. However, even with such stellar growth, Moopen says he has no plans to rest on his laurels.
The DM Group is in the midst of a $354m expansion, much of it in Saudi Arabia. Other plans for the healthcare giant will include a push into the lucrative medical tourism industry.
