Dubai Investments has acquired a 34.3% equity stake in Global Fertility Partners (GFP), a prominent network of fertility and reproductive genetics centres in the Middle East.
GFP has secured approximately $60 million in equity financing, facilitating its expansion across the MENA region.
“Investment in Global Fertility Partners marks Dubai Investments’ fourth strategic investment in the healthcare sector, a pivotal move in the Group’s ongoing diversification strategy,” said Khalid Bin Kalban, Vice Chairman and CEO of Dubai Investments. “Through this strategic investment, Dubai Investments will support GFP’s ambitious growth plans by leveraging synergies and solidifying the Group’s dedication to shaping the future of healthcare investments.”
The investment aims to support GFP’s growth plans, focusing initially on Saudi Arabia, where the network will introduce new technologies, enhance clinical outcomes, and reduce treatment costs. GFP’s flagship facility in Riyadh is under construction and set to commence operations later this year, aiming to elevate the region’s fertility care and reproductive genetics standards.
The funding will enable GFP to establish fertility and women’s health centres and satellite clinics in Saudi Arabia and the UAE, with construction beginning in the coming months. The investment positions GFP to accelerate growth and build a robust regional platform through potential acquisitions.
