Abu Dhabi-based Burjeel Holdings has made a strategic acquisition of 100 per cent stake in Specialist Physiotherapy Center (SPC), a premier healthcare facility in Makkah, Saudi Arabia.
The SAR6.5 million ($1.73 million) investment not only helps broaden Burjeel’s footprint in Saudi Arabia but also taps into a strong client base of SPC and its existing strategic partnerships with the Makkah Islamic Authority, the Saudi Federation for Soccer, and the National Guard.
Located in Makkah, SPC is positioned to cater to the needs of Umrah and Hajj pilgrims, with hotel physiotherapy offerings designed to support the needs of both tourists and pilgrims. With the holy city attracting millions of pilgrims annually, the acquisition also presents an opportunity to strengthen Burjeel’s brand presence in this key market.
The Specialist Physiotherapy Center was founded in 2017 and is known for its advanced treatments, expert team, and patient care. It has demonstrated strong growth over the past two years, achieving a 2.1x increase in revenue to SAR3.8 million ($1 million) from 2021 to 2023.
With an experienced team of 17 highly qualified physiotherapists, SPC specialises in sports injuries, paediatric care, and post-surgical rehabilitation. It has state-of-the-art facilities, including high-intensity electromagnetic therapy, cryotherapy, laser treatments, and a standalone gym, yoga studio, and educational center.
John Sunil, Group CEO of Burjeel Holdings, commented: “This strategic acquisition reflects our commitment to enhancing access to world-class healthcare services across Saudi Arabia.
“Recognising Makkah’s status as a primary destination for pilgrims, integrating the Specialist Physiotherapy Center into our network not only enhances our offerings in physiotherapy and rehabilitation but also supports our broader vision to serve both local and international patients and support KSA’s medical tourism ambitions.
“We look forward to enhancing the center’s capabilities and introducing new services as part of our ongoing efforts to provide innovative and comprehensive care to our patients.”
The SPC will be integrated into Burjeel’s existing PhysioTherabia network in Saudi. In the coming months, the focus will be on expanding the Center’s services and building on existing partnerships.
Burjeel plans to activate new programs, including pediatric and neuro rehabilitation services, and introduce advanced technologies such as a cryo chamber and the David System for physiotherapy.
