Investcorp Capital has reached an agreement to sell Reem Hospital, the leading Abu Dhabi-based multi-specialty and post-acute rehabilitation healthcare provider, to Arada, the UAE-based master developer, in a notable private healthcare investment.
Established in 2020 on Abu Dhabi’s Reem Island, Reem Hospital is the first post-acute rehabilitation and multi-specialty hospital in the UAE, purpose-built to deliver high-quality, end-to-end care across a patient’s recovery journey.
Developed by an international consortium led by Investcorp Group, the Hospital has grown in five years into one of the most advanced medical facilities in the region, with a workforce of more than 800, including over 120 doctors across 42 specialties, and has treated over 1 million patients since opening. Its use of AI-powered tracking and care programming systems has set new benchmarks for clinical efficiency and patient outcomes across the GCC region.
As specialized healthcare services remain a key vertical for investing in the GCC region and the rest of the world, the disposal underscores Investcorp Capital’s focus on delivering attractive returns to shareholders through disciplined realizations across its diversified portfolio, including private equity, credit, and real assets.
Mohammed Alardhi Chairman Investcorp Capital
“Reem Hospital is a powerful illustration of what our GCC investment platform was built to do – identify a clear structural opportunity, partner with local and international business partners to address a specific market gap, and deliver a successful platform that creates lasting value for our shareholders, partners, and the communities we serve. The Hospital has set a new standard for private healthcare in the UAE.”
Sana Khater, CEO of Investcorp Capital, said that, “This transaction reflects the disciplined, returns-focused approach that defines Investcorp Capital’s strategy: building a diversified portfolio of high-quality alternative investments, and realizing value at the right moment for our shareholders. The exit of Reem Hospital is a strong outcome for the Company and a clear demonstration of our ability to monetize institutional-quality assets across our portfolio.”
