PureHealth Buys Six Aspen Clinics Facilities in Abu Dhabi and Al Ain

The facilities are in Shakhbout City, Al Wathba, Al Salamat, Abu Samrah, Al Dhahirah and Um Ghafah, which are mainly residential areas. When the deal completes, PureHealth will fold them into SEHA CLINICS, its community clinic network, and run them under the SEHA CLINICS care model. They are expected to offer outpatient and community-based services suited to local needs.

Shaista Asif, PureHealth's group chief executive, said the acquisition reflects the company's "long-term commitment to strengthening healthcare delivery across the UAE." She said adding community sites in Abu Dhabi and Al Ain would improve access to care, add clinical capacity and support "a more resilient, integrated healthcare system."

The statement said the purchase is part of PureHealth's UAE growth strategy, which focuses on targeted investment in healthcare infrastructure and on building out its clinical networks. It also linked the deal to Abu Dhabi's aim of improving health outcomes through accessible, integrated care centred on patients.

Why It Matters

PureHealth is the largest healthcare group in the region and runs SEHA, Abu Dhabi's main public healthcare provider. Its expansion has included hospital and insurance deals in the UAE and abroad. This purchase is a small, local addition that extends its reach into neighbourhood primary care rather than adding hospital beds.

Community clinics are often patients' first contact with the health system and their main source of ongoing care. By adding them to SEHA CLINICS, PureHealth brings more patient visits, and the data they generate, into one network. That matters as Abu Dhabi's health system puts more emphasis on integrated records and digital services.

The Abu Dhabi Media Office statement did not say whether Aspen Clinics will keep any other sites, whether staff will move with the facilities, or whether the deal needs regulatory approval.
