Dubai: Two of the UAE’s biggest names in the healthcare space – G42 and Mubadala – will merge their respective division to create a ‘first of its kind integrated healthcare company’.
The move will bring G42 Healthcare’s medical and data-centric technologies and Mubadala Health’s top-of-the-line patient care. The new entity will ‘deliver a new approach to personalized, patient-centric care’.
The name of the new entity is to be announced later.
“The future of healthcare lies in the incredible, fast-moving advances being made in technology,” said Waleed Al Mokarrab Al Muhairi, Chairman of Mubadala Health and Deputy CEO of Mubadala. “For over a decade, Mubadala has invested in the highest standard of patient care for the residents of the UAE across a number of specialties.
“We now seek to take patient care to the next level, into a new era of precision and personalized medicine.”
While Mubadala brings the healthcare assets, already well-established names, G42 brings in its extensive R&D and AI capabilities into the mix. The alliance also has ambitions to go global with the expansion possibilities.

Hasan Jasem Al Nowais has been appointed CEO of the new entity and will also continue to lead Mubadala Health, whose assets include Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi, Moorfields Eye Hospital Abu Dhabi and Imperial College London Diabetes Centre.
