Mediterrania Capital Partners, a private equity firm targeting growth investments in SMEs and mid-cap companies across North Africa and Sub-Saharan Africa, has completed the full exit of its investment in Akdital, Morocco’s leading private healthcare group.
Since Mediterrania’s investment via its MC III fund in March 2020, and under the leadership of founder and CEO Dr Rochdi Talib, Akdital has scaled rapidly – quadrupling its workforce to 7,000 employees, 79% of whom are women, supporting Mediterrania’s 2X Challenge and gender inclusion goals. Workforce growth alone stood at 53% in 2024.
Operational expansion has been equally strong, with Akdital growing its network to 35 hospitals, adding 29 new facilities and more than 2,300 beds, significantly enhancing access to advanced healthcare services across Morocco.
This growth directly contributes to nine UN Sustainable Development Goals: SDGs 1, 3, 4, 5, 8, 9, 10, 16 and 17.
The value creation strategy was executed by the Mediterrania Capital Partners team, who steered Akdital through its IPO and subsequent SPO, achieving a substantial increase in share value. With a market capitalisation close to €2bn, Akdital is now recognised as a leading African unicorn and a key provider of quality healthcare services across the region.
