Burjeel consolidates day surgery centers, plans 6 new facilities

Burjeel’s day surgery platform is designed to support regional expansion across the UAE, Saudi Arabia and selected GCC markets.

ADX-listed Burjeel Holdings consolidated its four day surgery centers in the UAE under a specialized business vertical to support the next phase of growth in outpatient healthcare and day surgery services.

In a statement, the company said its medium-term plan includes adding four new centers in the UAE and two in Saudi Arabia, as part of a growth program comprising 18 assets across multiple healthcare segments in the UAE, Saudi Arabia and the GCC.

Burjeel added that each Burjeel One Day Surgery Center in Saudi Arabia requires capital expenditure of around AED 140 million and is expected, upon reaching operational maturity, to achieve annual revenue of more than AED 200 million, with an EBITDA margin of around 20%.

The company noted that its four existing centers in the UAE comprise Burjeel Day Surgery Centers in Reem Island, Al Shahama, Al Dhafra and Al Dhahir in Al Ain.

The centers will operate under shared clinical and operational oversight, with financial management, clinical pathways, procurement processes and workforce planning standardized to improve capacity utilization and enhance operational efficiency.

Burjeel said its operationally mature centers in the UAE generate EBITDA margins that rank among the highest across its healthcare assets.

The platform will distribute care delivery across the group’s network by performing elective surgeries and minimally invasive procedures that do not require overnight stays at specialized day surgery centers, freeing up additional capacity at larger hospitals for more complex cases.

The company added that the platform provides a scalable operating model for regional expansion, including the development of new facilities and partnerships in the UAE and selected GCC markets. New centers will operate under a standardized framework for clinical quality, financial management and performance measurement.
