Abu Dhabi's Waha Capital buys stake in healthcare firm | Reuters

"Abu Dhabi investment firm Waha Capital said on Sunday it had invested an undisclosed amount in a newly established healthcare group in the United Arab Emirates through majority stakes purchased in some of its hospital and laboratory assets.

Waha, whose shareholders include Abu Dhabi government entities, said the investment in Dubai-based Anglo Arabian Healthcare (AAH) would help to support the healthcare firm's expansion plans in the next five years.

Healthcare businesses in the Gulf region are expected to boom in coming years as rising wealth couples with an increase in so-called lifestyle diseases - for example, five of the six Gulf Cooperation Council nations are in the global top 10 for prevalence of diabetes, according to the International Diabetes Federation."
