It is my great pleasure to welcome you to Dubai Medical University (DMU), a comprehensive medical university in Dubai and one of the fastest-growing medical universities in the UAE.

Operating under the Saeed Ahmed Lootah Foundation, a non-profit charitable organization, DMU holds the distinction of being the first medical college for girls and first pharmacy college for girls in the UAE, established in 1986 and 1992 respectively under the visionary leadership of the late Haji Saeed Lootah. Today, the University stands as a proud reflection of his legacy, an institution built on collaboration, academic excellence, and an unwavering commitment to advancing medical education.

DMU is home to College of Medicine, College of Pharmacy, and College of Nursing, each dedicated to maintaining the highest standards of education, clinical training, and patient-centered care. As we continue to grow, we plan to introduce new colleges and programs, creating a fully integrated academic health ecosystem where doctors, nurses, pharmacists, and allied health professionals learn and work together to improve patient outcomes. The Dubai Medical University Hospital further enhances our students’ learning experience by providing a dedicated clinical training environment.

Our students are at the heart of everything we do. We are committed to offering world-class facilities, interdisciplinary learning, and research opportunities that empower them to excel. Our experienced faculty and staff form the foundation of our progress, guiding students toward achieving their aspirations while promoting a culture of lifelong learning.

We extend our sincere gratitude to parents for entrusting us with their children’s futures. We honor this responsibility by shaping graduates into ethical, competent, and compassionate healthcare professionals.

Thank you for being part of our journey as we continue to evolve from a respected institution into a world-class medical university. Once again, welcome to DMU. We wish you every success in your academic and professional journey with us.
