PureHealth Raises $986 Million Through Its IPO on ADX

PureHealth, the largest integrated healthcare platform in the Middle East, has raised $986 million through its listing on the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange (ADX), one of the fastest growing exchanges in the world.

The IPO was oversubscribed by 483 times in the retail tranche and by 54 times in the professional subscribers’ tranche. This listing also marks the 6th IPO on ADX this year and the total value of IPOs on ADX stood at $5.57 billion in 2023.

PureHealth joins a growing group of both local and global healthcare service providers on ADX, demonstrating the ADX’s role as a hub for healthcare investments and providing opportunities for the exchange’s investors to further diversify their portfolios.

The company’s global footprint in the US and the UK reflects the growing internationalization of ADX and highlights ADX’s active role in augmenting Abu Dhabi’s economic growth and diversification.

PureHealth’s IPO rounds out a strong year for ADX. Some notable listings in 2023 include the largest- ever IPO on ADX of ADNOC Gas at $2.5 billion, ADIB’s world’s first Dollar-denominated sukuk with $500 million value of issuance, the IPO of Presight AI at approximately $496 million, to name a few.

This year, the ADX has witnessed strong investors’ interest and participation towards the various dynamic listings and initiatives on the ADX platform.

At ADX, we are committed to fulfilling Abu Dhabi’s economic strategy and expanding the sustainable growth and development of capital markets in the UAE and wider Middle East region,” he added.

Farhan Malik, Founder and Managing Director of PureHealth, said that his company’s listing on ADX has surpassed IPO records on the exchange, making this a significant milestone in their journey.

“As the largest integrated healthcare platform in the Middle East, we are proud of the role we continue to play in shaping the healthcare sector for Abu Dhabi and beyond.
