    Dr. Shamsheer Vayalil, Chairman and Managing Director of VPS Healthcare,

launching Burjeel Holdings to consolidate the organization's healthcare

offerings on the side

"Burjeel Holdings enables us to consolidate our healthcare offerings under one

platform to create an integrated ecosystem, which will continue our vision to

offer end-to-end health solutions under a single window. As we embark on our

expansion journey, the platform will provide the foundation to scale up

operations in new geographies in the GCC and beyond. It will also enable us to

take strategic corporate actions needed to drive our future growth," said Dr.

Shamsheer Vayalil, Chairman and Managing Director, VPS Healthcare. "We are

proud to launch this exciting next phase of growth on the sidelines of the

World Economic Forum Annual Meeting in Davos as a representation of our vision

to explore, expand, and grow our capabilities."

    Burjeel Holdings will operate nearly 60 assets catering to all

socio-economic segments across a range of brands, including Burjeel Hospitals,

Medeor Hospital, LLH Hospital, Lifecare Hospital, and Tajmeel. Its flagship

facility, Burjeel Medical City, is the largest private hospital in the UAE and

the only ESMO-accredited center. In addition to having renowned world-class

centers of excellence, Burjeel Holdings consolidates the largest diagnostic

network in the UAE and the largest comprehensive cancer center in the nation.

Burjeel Holdings will be instrumental in continuing VPS Healthcare's mission of

delivering quality and inclusive medical care to people around the world.

    Connecting care, scale, and community to benefit refugees from Ukraine

    Dr. Shamsheer began his entrepreneurial career with a vision to ensure

healthcare equity. In his journey towards fulfilling this vision, he has also

focused on outreach through humanitarian efforts. Alongside the launch of

Burjeel Holdings, Dr. Shamsheer, a highly regarded philanthropist, announced a

commitment of 50 pediatric stem cell transplantations to support Ukraine as

well as additional support on behalf of those who join the pledge of support at

Burjeel House in Davos.

    Dr. Shamsheer and VPS Healthcare have been at the forefront of many

humanitarian initiatives over the last 15 years. In 2018, VPS Healthcare

enabled the treatment of Yemeni war victims at its hospitals in India. The

organization offered the '100 Free Heart Surgeries' initiative for those in

need as a tribute to the late H.H. Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan.

    "I am pleased to announce our commitment of support for those affected by

the conflict in Ukraine. This contribution is being made toward the important

task of rebuilding a strong community in the war-torn region. We have seen that

children, especially those undergoing cancer treatment, are suffering the most

in this very unfortunate conflict. Burjeel Holdings will look to provide them

with the care they desperately need," said Dr. Shamsheer.

    VPS Healthcare announced the launch of Burjeel Holdings and its commitment

to supporting the Ukrainian refugees at the Burjeel House on the sidelines of

the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting in Davos. The Burjeel House will

convene intentional, collaborative dialogues on topics like catalyzing

equitable health training, and advancing medical innovation.
