Healthtrip, a UK-based medical and wellness travel platform, announced an expansion to the Middle East with fully operational offices in the UAE and Saudi Arabia.
The company said the expansion is aimed at serving the rapidly growing demand of healthcare services in the region.
The expansion plan also aligns with the region’s increasing focus on becoming the world’s leading health travel destination, attracting millions of tourists annually, it said.
Danish Ahmed, CEO and co-founder, Healthtrip, said the company’s expansion into the Middle East aligns with the region’s mission to advance health, wellness, longevity, and anti-aging experiences for global travellers.
“Treatments such as longevity and aesthetics are rapidly growing in demand in the region’s destinations, complementing its well-established medical offerings,” he said.
“With our accessible travel options, advanced healthcare infrastructure, and streamlined processes, expanding our international network to the Middle East was a strategic decision,” Ahmed said.
Healthtrip said it has also partnered with reputed healthcare providers such as Saudi German Hospitals, Burjeel Group, American Hospital, Kings College Hospital, Zoya Wellness and Kaya Skincare in the region.
These partnerships aim to position Healthtrip as the preferred platform for delivering efficient and personalised healthcare services in the Middle East and internationally.
As part of this expansion, Healthtrip has launched THRIVE, a unique transformation programme aimed to rejuvenate the body and mind for individuals seeking a lifestyle reset.
Healthtrip, a fastest-growing company in the global health tourism space, is backed by UAE-based VC funds like Humania Capital, D-One Investments and NB Ventures.
The company offers a wide-reaching network through partnerships with 1,500 hospitals and sanatoriums in the US, UK, Germany, UAE, Saudia Arabia, Thailand, India, Singapore and Egypt.
The company said it has served over 65,000 customers from 38 countries, through an AI-driven platform that provides personalised and intelligent care by connecting individuals with providers based on treatment type, rating, cost, and location.
It also provides extensive destination services, including hotel bookings, airport transfers, concierge services, and interpreters.
