What Apex Health does

Apex Health, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Qatar Stock Exchange-listed Estithmar Holding Q.P.S.C., operates an integrated network of owned and managed hospitals across the MENA region. Established in 2022, the company has scaled to 8 facilities spanning Qatar, Iraq, Libya, and Algeria, with a combined bed capacity exceeding 2,800 and over 15,000 managed staff delivering 175,000+ annual inpatient admissions, 2.8+ million outpatient visits, and 500,000+ emergency visits. Apex Health serves governments through public-private partnerships and competitive tenders, military and defense health systems, affluent private patients, and medical tourists, positioning itself as a turnkey hospital developer-operator in markets where local capacity is limited and outbound medical travel is common. The portfolio includes owned facilities (The View Hospital affiliated with Cedars-Sinai, Korean Medical Center in partnership with ASAN Medical Center), managed government hospitals (Military Medical City Hospital, Al Nasiriya and Al Imam Al Hassan teaching hospitals in Iraq, Misrata Heart & Cardiovascular Center in Libya), and greenfield developments (Algerian Qatari German Hospital with the Algerian sovereign wealth fund FNI, Baghdad International Hospital). Underlying the network is a proprietary AI-powered digital health platform comprising 45+ projects, including ambient listening documentation, AI-assisted ICU decision support, tele-ICU remote monitoring, digital triage, robotic surgery systems (Da Vinci and Artis pheno), and a unified longitudinal EMR being deployed across facilities through a 2025 strategic agreement with InterSystems.
