Lublin, Poland: Dr. Thumbay Moideen, Founder and President of the Thumbay Group, has been conferred an honorary doctorate by the University of Lublin, Poland. This marks his fifth honorary degree, awarded for his involvement in healthcare, medical education, and research initiatives with a focus on community impact.
The University cited his role in developing a private academic health system and a private medical university, along with the expansion of healthcare services and education through the Thumbay Group. The group operates across various sectors including hospitals, medical education, diagnostics, and research.
The University also noted initiatives such as the Thumbay International Research Grant (TIRG), which provides AED 3 million annually to support research in areas such as cancer immunology, artificial intelligence in healthcare, and precision medicine.
Dr. Moideen, originally from Karnataka, India, is known for his work in the Gulf region, particularly among Non-Resident Indian (NRI) communities. At the award ceremony, he stated: “If our work has empowered others to dream, to heal, to grow, then I consider it a success. It is no longer about how far I have progressed, but how many I have brought along. I aspire for Thumbay Group to be remembered as a force that empowered the underprivileged and raised the standards of education, healthcare, and research.”
The Group has announced plans to double its healthcare capacity and expand its businesses fivefold, with an aim to broaden its global presence. It continues to operate institutions such as Gulf Medical University and other affiliated healthcare and research entities.

1,600 Indians travel to India on 5 Qatar Airways flights amid airspace curbs
Doha (PTI): Around 1,600 Indian nationals travelled to India on five Qatar Airways flights on Tuesday, even as the airline continues to operate limited services due to restrictions on Qatar's airspace, the Indian Embassy here said.
The flights included two services to Delhi and one each to Mumbai, Kochi and Thiruvananthapuram, the embassy said in a social media post.
"In total, about 1600 Indian nationals travelled on Qatar Airways flights today," it said.
The mission noted that Qatar's airspace remains largely closed and Qatar Airways is currently operating only limited, non-scheduled flights.
The airline has announced services to nine Indian destinations starting Wednesday, and passengers can make bookings through the Qatar Airways website, mobile application or authorised travel agents.
The embassy said it continues to facilitate temporary Saudi transit visas for stranded Indian nationals wishing to travel to India via Saudi Arabia by crossing the Salwa land border.
The mission will remain open on all days in the coming week to provide consular services, including issuance of passports, while its control room and helplines through phone, email and WhatsApp will continue to function on a 24/7 basis.
It urged the Indian community to follow instructions issued by Qatari authorities and exercise responsibility in sharing information to help maintain public safety and community stability.
The embassy and Indian community organisations have also collaborated to support members of the Indian fishermen community in Qatar by providing dry rations to those in need.
Tensions in West Asia continue to escalate following the US-Israel strikes on Iran since February 28.
