Dhanwantari Vaidyasala, a renowned Ayurvedic institution from Kerala, has inaugurated its first international centre in Bur Dubai, marking a significant milestone in its 93-year history. Founded in 1933, the Kerala-based institution has long been a beacon of authentic Ayurvedic healing and wellness. The new facility in Al Ain Center aims to make its acclaimed treatments more accessible to UAE residents, many of whom previously travelled to India for care. This expansion is part of a broader vision to establish a global presence under the banner of ‘Dhanwantari Global.’ Dr Satheesh Kumar Namboothiri, the managing director, revealed ambitious plans to open new centres in Bahrain, Qatar, Oman, the Philippines, Germany, and Australia by 2026. The Dubai centre will focus on addressing modern health challenges, including diabetes and chronic diseases, through authentic Ayurvedic methods. Dr Sathya K Pillai, the medical director, emphasized the facility’s advanced diagnostic systems and specialised treatments for conditions like neuropathy, eye ailments, and skin and hair care. Additionally, Dhanwantari UAE plans to expand its footprint across the Gulf, with 10 direct outlets, franchise models, and kiosks set to open within the next three years. The brand has already integrated into the local community by acquiring the Ayur Sathya clinic and will soon introduce long-term treatment packages for regular clients.
