The MENA healthcare sector has continued to attract growing interest from private equity players in recent years. In terms of investment volume by sector, healthcare reached 7% in 2012, compared to 5% in 2006, an increase made more notable because of the losses other industries, such as construction and financial services, have struggled to recover from since the financial crisis, according to the MENA Private Equity Association.
