## Strategic Partnership in Longevity Science

Thumbay Group has partnered with the Geneva College of Longevity Science (GCLS) to introduce a new educational initiative in the UAE. This collaboration marks the first time a private medical university in the region will offer structured programs in Longevity Medicine, Healthy Ageing, Preventive Healthcare, and Precision Health.

## New Educational Programs

The Thumbay Institute of Longevity Medicine will offer six professional certificate programs developed in collaboration with GCLS. These programs, designed for healthcare professionals, will be delivered in a hybrid format over three months. The initial intake will accommodate around 100 participants per program.

## Supporting UAE's Healthcare Vision

This initiative aligns with the UAE's goal of becoming a global leader in advanced healthcare and medical innovation. The partnership aims to establish the UAE and the GCC as key players in longevity medicine.

## Growing Demand for Longevity Medicine

According to a recent survey by GCLS, there is a growing demand for longevity medicine, with 99% of physicians noting increased patient interest. The survey also highlights a shift towards preventive healthcare and anticipates significant lifespan extensions within the next two decades.

## Future Plans and Opportunities

The collaboration will begin with educational programs and may expand to include conferences, workshops, and other joint activities. Admissions for the first cohort are open for the September/October 2026 intake, with further details available on the Gulf Medical University website.
