DOHA: Dr Azad Moopen, Founder Chairman and Managing Director of Aster DM Healthcare, has been honoured with the Lifetime Achievement Award at 10th edition of The Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce (FICCI) Healthcare Excellence Awards. The prestigious accolade is in recognition of his valuable contribution and efforts in the field of healthcare. Under his leadership, Aster DM Healthcare in the last 31 years has become one of the few entities across the globe providing the complete circle of care from primary, secondary, tertiary to quaternary medical care, said a statement.
Starting with a single doctor clinic in Dubai in 1987, when healthcare was still in its primitive stages in the region, Dr Moopen has played a significant role in shaping the healthcare industry in the UAE and GCC.
Accepting the award at a ceremony in New Delhi, Dr Moopen paid tribute to Aster DM Healthcare’s 17,000 plus staff members for their efforts in providing “compassionate care to millions of patients” and hardwork to keep pushing the boundaries of healthcare excellence.
“Our journey over the last 30 years has been driven by our vision to provide quality healthcare at affordable costs at the doorstep of the people that we serve and pushing boundaries to achieve our mission has seen us set benchmarks in healthcare excellence. I would like to thank FICCI for this honour, and this serves as further motivation to continue making a positive difference in the lives of the people that we serve everyday,” Dr Moopen said.
