Private Veterinary Teaching Hospital & College Opens in Ajman

Thumbay Group has launched the UAE’s first private veterinary teaching hospital and college at Thumbay Medicity in cooperation with Gulf Medical University. Groundbreaking for the project took place in the presence of Sheikh Ammar bin Humaid Al Nuaimi and Thumbay Moideen.
The integrated campus includes an 85,000 square foot multi-speciality teaching hospital and veterinary college bringing together clinical services, academic training, and future farm-based learning facilities. According to the project details, the hospital is being developed to international standards and will include specialised sections for surgery, diagnostic imaging, intensive care, laboratory services, and isolation units.
Clinical services will cover household pets including dogs, cats, and exotic animals, alongside horses, camels, and livestock. A dedicated teaching farm is also planned as part of the next development phase to support practical learning in herd health, farm management, and production animal medicine.
The veterinary college will operate under Gulf Medical University through a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine programme focused on clinical training, evidence-based practice, and research linked to regional veterinary needs. The project also includes partnerships with several regional and international veterinary institutions and research centres including Royal Veterinary College London, Sharjah Equine Hospital, Sharjah Falcon Hospital, UAQ Camel Breeding Centre, and Don State University.
