Strategy

Burjeel Holdings is well-positioned to navigate its world-leading standards of healthcare services adapted to local cultures, using the most advanced skills and technology to benefit communities across the Gulf region. Our well-defined strategic approach, built around the four strategic pillars, enables maximizing the long-term value creation for all stakeholders.

Ramp-up of
Growth Assets

Burjeel maintains a young asset fleet with substantial growth ramp-up opportunities driven by increasing utilization rates. The Group focuses on utilizing the existing invested infrastructure for super-specialty services to meet a growing market need.

With a demonstrated track record of ramping up assets to maturity, the Group is well positioned to drive further volume growth across its hospital network. The Group aims to increase the bed occupancy rate from 67% to 80% by 2027.

Increasing
Patient Yield

The Group has been adapting to evolving patient needs and optimizing its estate by repurposing some of its infrastructure. With a strong history of successfully growing patient volumes across the most complex and premium services, Burjeel expects to build on past success in this area further.

The focus on key specialities and investment in subspecialty and complex treatment lead to a rise in patient yield. Thanks to Burjeel Medical City, as a super-specialty unit, the Group aims to increase its yields further through its tertiary and quaternary care and by extending its complex capabilities.

Operational
Excellence

Ensuring optimized operations is a key factor behind Burjeel’s success, with various centralization and digitization initiatives driving efficiency. The Group’s digital transformation and its operational and infrastructural investment are expected to result in substantial savings in both time and costs, leading to improved margins.

The Group invests significantly in digital capabilities to drive best practices across its operations and support the continued delivery of high-quality services. These investments have enabled Burjeel to efficiently manage its workforce and asset turnaround, resulting in higher profitability.

Geographic Expansion

Burjeel Holdings employs a multi-pronged expansion strategy that leverages its international reputation for world-class healthcare provision and includes both local and international growth.

Expanding UAE healthcare infrastructure

Burjeel Holdings additionally pursues the selective expansion of healthcare infrastructure in the UAE. Between 2026 and 2028, the Group plans to expand its UAE network through the addition of two new hospitals in Dubai, four day surgery centers, six medical centers, and two Trust Fertility Clinic branches in Al Ain and Dubai.

Entering the High-Potential KSA Market with Disruptive Healthcare Innovation

Burjeel One is the Group’s next-generation day surgery platform delivering high-quality, minimally invasive care across specialties such as oncology, advanced gynecology, orthopedics and neurology, supported by advanced surgical technologies. The model is already proven in the UAE, where the Group operates five day surgery centers demonstrating strong demand and operational efficiency. The first Burjeel One centers in Riyadh and Al Khobar are expected to open in 2026–2027, addressing growing demand for minimally invasive procedures and expanding the Group’s presence in Saudi Arabia.

Leveraging solid pipeline of O&M opportunities in UAE and Africa

Burjeel Holdings plans to create a leading regional healthcare system through de-risked and zero-CAPEX partnerships, given that it has a long and proven track record as an efficient and successful operator of healthcare facilities. There is a solid mid-term pipeline of O&M contracts collaborating with the Ministry of Health, the Department of Health and large public hospitals in the UAE and Africa. The O&M segment is expected to contribute over 10% of the Group’s net profit in the mid-term.
