We are on a journey to consolidate healthcare SMEs in the UAE and drive expansion with Mergers & Acquisitions strategies.
Our goal is to make profitable acquisitions in the healthcare industry and create an ecosystem.
The premise is simple: to consolidate SMEs in the UAE and GCC area starting with small practices.
Our growth curve will lead us to control the entire value chain, while we solidify the infrastructure of our business with the incorporation of largest acquisitions.
Even though it might not be the latest trend, healthcare is one of the most solid profitable sectors to be in (20% of the GDP worldwide), and it is recession proof.
Moreover, this industry historically delivers solid, stable returns in both bear bull markets.

Our Strategy
In the UAE, the presence of over 3000 small-medium size practices has resulted in a highly fragmented market, presenting an excellent opportunity for consolidation.
The Healthcare sector is poised to experience a remarkable annual growth rate of 12% in the coming years. Concurrently, employment in the sector is projected to increase by 16% annually, with spending anticipated to rise by 7% per year.
Our pragmatic strategy centers on identifying and selecting the most exceptional SMEs available in the market. These SMEs meet the following criteria:
-
Quality of service: Demonstrating a commitment to delivering high-quality healthcare services.
-
Business stability: Maintaining a stable operation during both prosperous and challenging market conditions.
-
High customer retention: Establishing a strong and loyal customer base.
-
Consistent profits: Sustaining profitability throughout economic cycles.
-
Healthy cash flow: Maintaining a robust and steady cash flow.
-
Untapped market potential: Exhibiting untapped growth potential within the market.
-
Value creation within the ecosystem: Contributing to the overall ecosystem and creating value within it.
By targeting SMEs that meet these requirements, we aim to capitalize on the opportunities presented by the fragmented market, while driving consolidation and growth in the healthcare sector.
