Fatima College of Health Sciences (FCHS) was founded in 2006 with a vision to be the leading provider for health education in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Initially, the only degree offered by the college was a Bachelor of Science (BSc) in Nursing. The program was designed to graduate Emirati students in nursing and to provide continuous improvement for existing diploma holder nurses in the health sector.
Due to an increasing demand in the UAE for allied healthcare workers, FCHS in 2011 commenced four new programs viz. Pharmacy, Physiotherapy, Radiography and Medical Imaging and Emergency Health (Paramedics) leading to a Bachelor’s degree. FCHS programs have been expanded with the introduction of Psychology in 2019 and Midwifery in 2022.FCHS is lead from the Abu Dhabi campus in Mafraq, with additional campuses in Al Ain, Al Dhafra and Ajman.
