This broad investor appetite is a testament to the confidence in our strategic growth plan across all four of our key divisions: healthcare, services, ventures, and specialized contracting.

The healthcare sector in Estithmar Holding has witnessed a remarkable growth, with the progress of The View Hospital in affiliation with Cedars Sinai, the opening of the Korean Medical Center KMC, which sustains our commitment to providing world-class healthcare services to Qatar and the region and contributes to medical tourism, with regional expansion through operating two hospitals in Iraq, and the upcoming completion of the Algerian-Qatari-German Hospital in Algeria. Estithmar Holding currently owns and operates facilities with a total capacity of more than 2000 beds.

Furthermore, our services sector, encompassing facilities management, catering, and resource supply, continues to grow both in Qatar and abroad.

Our ventures sector is poised for significant success with major projects such as the Rosewood Resort in the Maldives and Rixos in Baghdad, both of which are expected to open in the near future, in addition to the continuous development of our current touristic ventures in Qatar; Al Maha Island, Katara Hills, Maysan Doha and others.

Our specialized contracting sector is also witnessing significant growth, especially in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, with a remarkable increase in our market share through important strategic projects in the Kingdom. 

The success of the Sukuk Program is a culmination of our broader growth strategy, which aims to achieve an ever-growing investment value for our shareholders and ensure Estithmar Holding’s leadership across all its operating sectors.”
