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 has become one of the entities across the globe providing the complete circle of care from primary, secondary, tertiary to quaternary medical care. 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 UAE and GCC.
Accepting the award at a ceremony in New Delhi, Dr. Moopen paid tribute to Aster DM Healthcare's 17,000+ staff members for their efforts in providing "compassionate care to millions of patients" and hard work to keep pushing the boundaries of healthcare excellence.
A dedicated philanthropist, Dr. Moopen has embarked on numerous social initiatives through Aster DM Foundation and Dr. Moopen Family Foundation. He has earmarked 20 per cent of his personal wealth for philanthropic activities enabling social change and helping people in need.
In 2011, the Government of India honoured him with the Padma Shri title and in 2010 with Pravasi Bhartiya Samman for his extraordinary contribution in the healthcare sector. In 2009, he was also conferred the best doctor award by government of Kerala. In 2018, Dr. Moopen received the 'Lifetime Achievement Award' at the Gulf Indian Leadership Summit, and was recognized as one of the 100 most inspiring leaders in the Middle East by Arabian Business Magazine. He has also been recognised as one of the Top powerful Indian leaders in the Arab World by Forbes Middle East magazine.
