About Us

Headquartered in Dubai, Grandis is a private regional investment firm that develops forward-looking strategies in the healthcare sector spanning the GCC region.

Striving to further develop Dubai as a viable and competitive healthcare center, we support the DHA’s objective of providing healthcare in line with the best global practices, fostering innovation in all health-related sectors and becoming a medical hub for the region by attracting investors.

With a constant pursuit of innovation and a sustainable business model, we continue to strengthen our position in the UAE with prudent investments. Since our founding, we have applied our strategies and deep experience, backed by data-driven insights, to offer forward-thinking solutions that create positive impact for our investors, employees and communities. In the simplest of terms, we offer our clients the best investment success at Grandis.

Finally, we pledge to keep to our ethos of always holding our clients first and always ensuring our practices are always held to the highest standards.

We believe the UAE's unique investment climate provides several investment opportunities in the healthcare sector. Several key drivers make us confident of our strategy.

Aside from government support for healthcare development, the strategic location offers easy access from Asia and Europe, giving the UAE a strong position to grow as a health tourism hub. Approximately 326,000 health tourists are welcomed in Dubai every year, generating over AED 1 billion in total healthcare revenue. 52% of all health tourists are from Asia and Europe. These figures are expected to grow, especially as landmark projects and infrastructure such as Expo 2020 has been opened to the public.

A growing population in the UAE entails a greater need for health services while a mandatory health insurance law enacted in 2014 saw every employee and dependent residing in Dubai medically insured by the end of 2017. In the years after, healthcare expenses reached AED 17.5 billion while the share of private insurance skyrocketed to approximately 60%.

A key factor is the Dubai Healthcare Authority's commitment to ensuring the availability of quality medical insurance programmes, improving medical services to the highest international standards as well as providing the required infrastructure for investments in healthcare. Two dedicated free zones, DHCC and DSP, aid the development of healthcare, wellness, pharmaceutical and other life-science sectors. In addition, new legislation will soon allow 100% foreign ownership of onshore companies and a new 10-year visa programme has been rolled out.

Vision

Our vision at Grandis is to become a leading privately-owned investment firm in the GCC region, supporting Dubai in turning the city into a major medical hub and creating value for our investors, all the while closely adhering to our commitments as well as the communities that rely on us.

Portfolio

Grandis is focused on building several strategic investments in the healthcare sector, both within the UAE as well as the GCC region.

Our shareholders have a strategic vision to build an investment portfolio that includes several healthcare institutions and is a testament to our long-term commitment to improving the medical infrastructure in the UAE and surrounding region.
