Nominations are now open for the Annual Health Awards 2025, organised by Health Magazine in collaboration with Thumbay Media. The event, scheduled for 9 October 2025 at the Grand Hyatt Dubai, will recognise healthcare professionals and institutions across 46 categories. For the first time, 15 Emirati nationals will be honoured as part of this year’s edition.

Dubai: A Dubai-based private company on Wednesday apologised and took "full responsibility" for disseminating "incorrect" information in the media that the UAE government will grant lifetime "golden visa" for around Rs 23.30 lakhs.

The United Arab Emirates’ newly launched nomination-based Golden Visa programme has drawn significant interest in India, with over 5,000 applicants expected in just three months. But despite the advertised cost of AED 100,000 (approx. ₹23.3 lakh), the visa is not guaranteed by money alone.

Dubai: The United Arab Emirates government has started a new type of Golden Visa, which will be based on nomination, albeit with some conditions, unlike the current practice of investing large amounts in either property or business here.

The Thumbay College of Management and AI in Healthcare at Gulf Medical University (GMU) has launched the Thumbay Lab for AI in Healthcare, a dedicated facility aimed at advancing education and research in artificial intelligence applications within the healthcare sector.

Amidst tensions in the Middle East, an attack on a US air base in Qatar has resulted in the closure of Qatari and Bahraini airspace. This has affected flight operations from different airports across the country to the gulf nations.

Kuwait: Kuwait has temporarily closed its airspace as a precautionary measure following Iran’s missile strikes on a US military base in Qatar. The decision comes amid rising regional tensions and fears of further escalation.

Doha: Qatar has strongly condemned Iran’s missile attack on the US-operated Al Udeid Air Base, calling it a “blatant violation” of the country’s sovereignty and international norms.
