PureHealth Commits AED 2.25 Billion to Bolster UAE's Healthcare Supply Chains
Arabian Post Staff -Dubai PureHealth, the Middle East's largest healthcare group, has announced that its total investment in locally sourced goods and services has reached AED 2.25 billion, reinforcing its commitment to the UAE's National In-Country Value Programme. This milestone was highlighted during the 2025 edition of the 'Make it in the Emirates' initiative, underscoring the group's dedication to enhancing the nation's industrial and healthcare sectors. In 2024 alone, PureHealth channelled AED 1 billion into the national economy, marking a 38% increase compared to the previous year. This significant uptick aligns with the UAE's strategic objectives to localise supply chains, promote national enterprises, and accelerate economic diversification. ADVERTISEMENT Since joining the Ministry of Industry and Advanced Technology's ICV Programme in 2022, PureHealth has set an ambitious target to allocate AED 13 billion towards local procurement by 2032. The group's efforts are in tandem with the UAE's broader industrial strategy, which aims to elevate the industrial sector's GDP contribution to AED 300 billion by 2031. Shaista Asif, Group Chief Executive Officer of PureHealth, emphasised the long-term vision behind this investment, stating, 'By advancing our In-Country Value goals, we are localising critical supply chains, supporting homegrown innovation, and enabling the development of advanced healthcare manufacturing capabilities. This is not just about meeting today's needs, but building a sustainable, self-sufficient healthcare system that serves UAE communities for generations to come while supporting the nation's economic and industrial ambitions.' The group's commitment is evident in the strong ICV performance across its subsidiaries. Abu Dhabi Health Services Company holds the highest ICV score in the UAE healthcare sector at 81.13%, while Daman, the leading health insurer, ranks second in the UAE insurance sector with a score of 71.86%. Additionally, PureLab and The Medical Office have secured their ICV certifications, and Sheikh Shakhbout Medical City is expected to receive its certification later this year, moving the group closer to full compliance. Leya Al Damani, Chief Sustainability Officer at PureHealth, highlighted the synergy between sustainability and localisation, noting, 'Through partnerships with UAE-based suppliers that share our environmental and quality standards, we are creating long-term value that benefits both our healthcare system and the national economy. The National In-Country Value Programme gives us a powerful framework to scale this impact measurably and responsibly, while also fostering a supportive environment for the growth of small and medium-sized enterprises across the country.'
