What Integrated Diagnostics Holdings does

Integrated Diagnostics Holdings plc is a Jersey-domiciled, London-listed (LSE: IDHC) provider of medical diagnostic services operating across five countries — Egypt, Jordan, Nigeria, Sudan, and Saudi Arabia — through a network of 724 patient service branches and a centralized Mega Lab facility in Cairo. The company operates a Hub, Spoke and Spike asset-light model that concentrates high-volume, automated testing at the CAP-certified Mega Lab (capacity 20,000 tests per hour, 3,000+ test menu) while routing sample collection through a dense branch network of trusted brands including Al Borg, Al Mokhtabar, Biolab, Ultralab, Al Borg Scan, and Echo-Lab.

IDH generates revenue primarily from per-test transaction fees for pathology and radiology services billed to walk-in patients, corporate clients, and insurance partners. The company expanded into radiology in 2018 (Al Borg Scan) and into data-driven healthcare services in 2019 (Wayak subsidiary), and most recently acquired CAIRO RAY for EGP 400 million in June 2025 to add radiotherapy capability. The technology stack combines laboratory automation (Sysmex, Siemens, GE Healthcare, Hitachi, Fujifilm equipment), a Laboratory Information Management System, and digital patient-facing tools including website and WhatsApp-based results delivery within 24 hours.

Customer segments span individual walk-in patients (8.9 million served in 2024), corporate and insurance B2B contracts, and physician referrals, with Egypt contributing approximately 84.6% of revenue. Ownership is in transition: Hena Holdings Ltd., a vehicle controlled by CEO Dr. Hend El Sherbini, consolidated approximately 49.62% control in mid-2025 following Actis/Elliott's exit, and is conducting a mandatory cash offer at USD 0.50 per share for remaining shareholders. The company is woman-led, with the CEO ranked among Forbes Middle East's Most Powerful Businesswomen from 2015 through 2023.
