Saudis Lead $550 Million Investment in U.K. Startup Babylon - Bloomberg:

Babylon Healthcare Services Ltd., the fast-growing mobile medical consultation service, said it raised $550 million to expand into the U.S. and Asia.

The investment includes capital from new investors such as Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, and valued the company at more than $2 billion, Babylon said in a statement Friday.

“We have seen significant demand from partners across the U.S. and Asia," said Ali Parsa, London-based Babylon’s founder and chief executive officer. "While the burden of healthcare is global, the solutions have to be localized to meet the specific needs and culture of each country.”
