The transaction was successfully executed in September 2020 through the Ezdehar Egypt Mid-Cap Fund to support THG’s in consolidating its position as the largest healthcare provider in Egypt’s underserved Delta region. The fund comprises contributions from several international institutions; foremost among them are the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), the European Investment Bank (EIB), UK’s CDC Group, and the Dutch Entrepreneurial Development Bank FMO.

THG’s witnessed growth rate throughout the past period affirms the investors’ confidence in the company and its ability to achieve exceptional performance levels in the future.”

Dr. Mohamed Gazar, co-founder and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of THG, said: “We are proud that Ezdehar joined hands with us and contributed in THG’s journey of growth, which comes as an affirmation of the investors’ confidence in the company's performance in the past period, along with their belief in its ability to achieve success in the upcoming period.”
