Pediatric clinic: The beginning
The Singhania Clinic first opened in 1995
It was first called the Singhania Children’s Clinic. Though I wanted to call it Neurodevelopmental Centre the powers that be insisted I use my name. This was for the best which I realized later.
It was the first Pediatric Child Development Centre in the UAE
My dream was to start a centre which dealt with various developmental problems in children. I started gathering a team of psychologists, speech therapist, and educational therapist. This was really hard as the DOH or present DHA did not have licenses or labor cards for them.
It first opened on Jumeirah Beach Road and then moved its location to Karama, now it has been operating from Dubai Healthcare City for more than 8 years.
My main reason to transfer to DHCC was to try and do research. I firmly believe that all treatment should reflect

Pediatric clinic: Accomplishments
Dr Singhania is the only pediatrician with a degree in neurodevelopmental pediatrics, psychology and counselling, and MEd (educational degree) in autism and a fellowship in biomedical intervention therapy.
I trained myself as the need arose. The training was undertaken as I believe in holistic integrative treatment.
Singhania Clinic was amongst the first centres in Dubai that started:
1. Parent workshops and school talks from 1996 on the following:
- ADHD
- Autism
- Behaviour management
- First Aid
2. That started group therapy for children from 1997 on the following:
- Happy Heart – a program based on the NFER UK, to teach elementary school children coping skills, understanding feelings, friendship skills etc. It was a six-week program taught through art, craft, and games.
- Healthy lifestyle a program based on the NFER UK, to teach elementary school children healthy lifestyle through games, art, and craft.
- Body Watch– based on weight watchers, a program to help overweight kids to lose weight
3. We worked hard to bring Ritalin, medication for ADHD into the market.
It took us 1 year after several discussions with MOH to finally make it available in Dubai in 1997.

Pediatric clinic: Future plans
Digital products, web-based reach
The aim is to create more downloadable products that help parents assist the development of their children. Apart from that short video clips and power point presentations giving a simple to in-depth information on common development problems are being created.
Home-based therapies
There are meant therapy centres that have emerged in recent times. Our aim is to help parents create home-based programs and make them feel less powerless. More therapists will be employed to assist in this endeavour.
