Dr. Shamsheer Vayalil
Chairman
Dr. Shamsheer Vayalil is the Chairman of Burjeel Holdings, one of the leading healthcare services providers in the UAE. An entrepreneur and philanthropist, Dr. Shamsheer set up the first hospital, LLH Hospital, in Abu Dhabi in 2007 to address a gap in top-quality tertiary care in the UAE. In the last 15 years, Dr. Shamsheer has tirelessly worked to build one of the largest and most dynamic healthcare companies in the Gulf and the Middle East. Through Dr. Shamsheer’s vision and strategy, Burjeel Holdings swiftly expanded into diverse brands comprising hospitals, medical centers, homecare and occupational health, and retail pharmacies. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Dr. Shamsheer and Burjeel Holdings have been at the forefront of mobilizing advanced healthcare protocols through screening, testing, treating, and vaccinating people across the UAE, Oman, and India. Dr. Shamsheer has received numerous global and local awards for his continuous pursuit of excellence in developing healthcare, philanthropy, and entrepreneurship across the region. He is the recipient of the Pravasi Bharatiya Samman Award, India’s highest civilian award presented to Non-Resident Indians, and is among the first investors to receive a long-term residency in the UAE and Oman. Dr. Shamsheer is a member of the UAE Medical Council. Born in Kozhikode in the south Indian state of Kerala, Dr. Shamsheer pursued MBBS and MD in radiology in India. Growing up in a family environment in his native Kerala, Dr. Shamsheer attributes his inclination for philanthropy to the value system fostered by his parents, where doing charity is an inherent part of the family. He hopes his philanthropic efforts will make a deep impact on public health globally and inspire other young entrepreneurs to follow suit.
