As the Head of the Gastroenterology and Hepatology Department at Burjeel Royal Hospital, Al Ain, Dr. Alzaabi has quietly built something remarkable. Under her leadership, the department has grown into a trusted destination for patients battling complex digestive and liver conditions — not just in Al Ain, but across the UAE.
A Journey Built on Dedication
Dr. Muna Alzaabi’s path in medicine was never about shortcuts. She earned her MD and went on to achieve what few do — double board certification in both Internal Medicine (ArBIM) and Gastroenterology & Hepatology (ArBGH). That level of specialization speaks to something beyond ambition. It speaks to a deep, personal commitment to mastering her craft.
For those unfamiliar with the field, gastroenterology and hepatology deal with some of the most common yet overlooked health challenges — from chronic acid reflux and inflammatory bowel disease to liver disorders and gastrointestinal cancers. These are conditions that affect millions, yet often go undiagnosed until they become serious. Dr. Alzaabi has made it her mission to change that narrative in her community.

She doesn’t just treat conditions on a chart; she listens, she explains, and she makes patients feel seen.
Under her guidance, the Gastroenterology and Hepatology Department at Burjeel Royal offers a full range of advanced services — from diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopy, ERCP, and colonoscopy to the management of inflammatory bowel disease, liver conditions, and GI cancers. It’s a department that reflects her standard: nothing less than the best.
