Aster Hospitals - Dr. Sherbaz Bichu

Practicing anaesthesiologist and CEO of Aster Hospital Group, Dr. Sherbaz Bichu, manages the group’s hospitals in the UAE and Oman. Dr. Bichu has been a part of the Aster Hospitals UAE since 2014. “I joined as a junior anaesthesiologist, and climbed the ladder,” he says. “My role as CEO started at one hospital, then further progressed to CEO of the group.”

When asked about the healthcare industry, Dr. Bichu comments that it “has taken a complete U-turn. Right now, it is not healthcare that is practiced, it is sickcare. People come to the hospital when they are sick, rather than to keep themselves healthy.” However, with the rise of healthcare technology such as wearables and teleconsultation, Dr. Bichu sees this changing and the continuity of care increasing, “something which is lacking currently.”
