Dubai, United Arab Emirates, 02 March 2019: AVIVO Group, one of the fastest growing healthcare service providers in the GCC, is planning to expand its presence in the Gulf countries and North Africa amid growing opportunities and strong demand for healthcare services in these countries, its Chief Executive Officer Dr. Dilshaad Ali told reporters during a media roundtable recently.

The Group includes 2 highly reputed hospitals, 29 clinics including 10 high-end dental centres attached with sophisticated dental labs, 6 pharmacies, 6 distribution centres, 2 training centres and 2 state-of-the-art diagnostic facilities across the UAE.

The Group already has a strong presence in Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah and Kuwait, but it is still open to expanding in the region in months to come, Dr. Ali said.

We are always on the growth path and keep looking to expand. We see the Middle East itself is growing, so our geographical expansion looks at Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait and Oman to a large extent and also looking into North Africa for the existing facilities and other new opportunities that come our way, Dr. Ali said.

He added that Avivo Group is also in discussion on some private-public partnerships in some countries.

The Group is also expanding its specialty line, which will include neuro-spinal, anti-ageing and some other key areas such as urology, advanced gastroenterology, etc.
