UAE-Based Investor Expands Healthcare Bridge Between Dubai and Moldova with GBP 10 million Commitment to Dialysis Excellence
Over the past decade, BB Hamodialyse has become Moldova's dominant dialysis provider, with over 75% market share and a reputation for affordability and quality of care. Through this acquisition, Handa plans to transform Moldova into a regional centre of excellence for cost-effective dialysis care, while exporting its proven cost effective model to markets across Africa and the Middle East , regions where dialysis access remains limited and demand continues to rise.
The initiative is particularly relevant to the UAE and GCC, where diabetes driven kidney disease is a growing concern. According to the International Diabetes Federation, the Middle East hosts over 73 million adults living with diabetes, while the UAE has one of the world's highest prevalence rates at 16.4%. By leveraging Moldova's dialysis expertise, Africa Capital aims to strengthen treatment capacity and clinical know-how across the GCC and Africa .
The acquisition also aligns with the UAE's National Strategy for Healthcare Innovation and
Dubai's ambitions to become a global hub for medical education, research and technology transfer.
The move further strengthens UAE–Moldova relations, following the 2025 mutual visa-exemption agreement and a sharp rise in bilateral trade since Expo 2020 Dubai, with Moldova's exports to the UAE increasing more than 20-fold in 2021.
