Gulf Medical University

Gulf Medical University is a private medical university in Ajman, UAE, with a 25-acre campus and an internationally oriented, practice-focused character. Its distinctive industry interface is the Thumbay Group-owned academic health system, integrating the university with a 350-bed teaching hospital, clinics, laboratories, pharmacies, and research institutes. This model gives corporate and clinical partners access to shared care settings, diagnostic infrastructure, simulation facilities, and a distributed network for training and applied research. Funding combines institutional support, Thumbay Group grants, UAE philanthropic and public-sector programs, and international collaborations, while an institutional research office supports grant development, ethics, budgeting, and proposal submission.
