Thumbay University Hospital has inaugurated the Thumbay Institute of Neurosciences, a dedicated center for the diagnosis, treatment, and management of complex disorders of the brain, spine, and nervous system. The launch marks a major step in specialized healthcare within the Thumbay Group ecosystem and strengthens the hospital’s position as one of the region’s leading academic medical centers.
“Neurological disorders require precision, speed and multidisciplinary expertise. With this institute, we are bringing together all of that under one roof, supported by technology, skilled specialists and a patient-first approach,” said Akbar Moideen Thumbay, Vice President, Healthcare Division, Thumbay Group.
The Thumbay Institute of Neurosciences is built around a multidisciplinary team of neurosurgeons, neurologists, interventional radiologists, neuro-technicians, and rehabilitation specialists. Neurology services cover stroke, epilepsy, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer’s disease, migraines, neuropathy, vertigo, and sleep disorders, supported by advanced diagnostics such as EEG, EMG, nerve conduction studies, and neuro-imaging.
On the surgical side, the institute handles complex brain, spine, and nerve conditions using microsurgical and minimally invasive techniques. These include brain tumors, vascular abnormalities, traumatic brain injuries, spinal disorders, and pediatric neurological conditions. Procedures such as cranioplasty, hydrocephalus management, and advanced spinal fixation are performed with precision using neuronavigation technology and intraoperative neuromonitoring.
What sets the institute apart is its integration of advanced neuro-rehabilitation with technology-driven therapies. Patients have access to robotic rehabilitation, Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, gait and motion analysis, EMG-based functional assessments, and Ekso Bionics exoskeleton-assisted rehabilitation. The objective is to restore mobility, independence, and quality of life.
The institute follows a structured care pathway in which neurologists manage non-surgical conditions and neurosurgeons step in when intervention is required. This approach ensures that patients receive the right care at the right time, without unnecessary procedural complexity.
