Dr KP Hussain: Transforming Healthcare Access Across the UAE
In the landscape of UAE healthcare, Dr KP Hussain stands as a quiet architect—someone who reshaped corporate medical security at a time when the middle and lower income groups were kept at the periphery. His work with the Fathima Health Care Group is not just a business story but a long-standing effort to give medical dignity to those who were previously overlooked.
A New Concept in Healthcare Security
The mid-1990s were a period when medical coverage was largely a privilege for higher-income corporate employees. Insurance structures were rigid, and the rising cost of employer-provided healthcare excluded thousands.
It was during this gap-ridden era that Dr Hussain introduced a new concept: a cost-effective medical security system that could include every employee—regardless of income bracket.
After extensive negotiations with insurance companies, he succeeded in establishing a revolutionary agreement:
insurance coverage at one-third of its actual cost, enabling companies to extend healthcare access to their entire workforce.
This decision became the spark that lit the foundation of Fathima Health Care Group in 1997.
A Network That Grew Beyond Expectations
Today, Fathima Health Care Group collaborates with:
-
11 major Health Insurance Companies in the UAE
-
1300+ corporate offices
-
A rapidly growing presence across other GCC countries
The model remains the same yet more expansive—cost-effective, comprehensive, and designed to ensure that the poor and lower-income groups are not left outside the gates of medical security.
The growth feels less like an expansion and more like a widening circle—each year including more people who once stood in the shadows of unaffordable healthcare.
Beyond Healthcare: Service Written Into Every Layer
While Dr Hussain’s primary mark is in healthcare, his contributions flow into other spheres:
-
His US-made Cessna-172 aircraft, leased to an aviation club, helps support flying school students and promotes tourism—a gentle reminder that service can spread in unexpected directions.
-
Under his leadership, Fathima Health Care Group earned the ISO 9001:2008 certification for quality management.
-
He has been honored by Dubai KMCC and is set to receive the Pazhassiraja Arogya Karma Shreshta Rajakeeya Puraskar, declared to be awarded by the President of India, Smt. Prathibha Patil.
Each recognition feels more like an echo of the work he has already done rather than the goal itself.
Family, Roots, and the Foundations of Purpose
Dr KP Hussain hails from Kolaparambathu House in Thirur, Calicut, Kozhikode District—a place where community values often grow stronger than concrete ambitions.
He is married to Dr NV Beena, and together they have three daughters: Farzana, Fareeda, and Fathima, all students carrying their own unfolding paths.
The story of his family roots hints at the kind of grounding that allows someone to build systems of care that stretch across countries.
A Leader Who Redefined Healthcare Access
The journey of Dr KP Hussain and the rise of Fathima Health Care Group is a reminder that real change begins when someone notices who is being left out of the system.
By persuading insurers, nurturing corporate partnerships, and building a compassionate framework, he helped turn the idea of affordable medical security for all into reality—one company, one family, and one employee at a time.
In a world where healthcare often feels like a maze, his work opens doors rather than corridors.
