Dr Janjua joins us having worked as consultant in the NHS for 5 years in both the DGH and tertiary centre setting. Alongside NHS work, Umair has 8 years of experience working with 3 separate leading UK teleradiology providers, favouring Everlight for their excellence in operational efficiency, flexibility and high quality work.

He is committed to growing Everlight through promoting the radiologist ‘work-life’ balance in one the best cities in the world. He will be developing new business strategies, innovating and will lead Everlight’s quest in partnering with reputable establishments in the UAE region. 

“Thank you Everlight for this wonderful role. My career to date has brought me to this opportunity which makes use of the broad range of skills I have developed along the way. This is where I belong. I’m looking forward to being a part of Everlight’s bright future in the UAE.”
