In a major move within Kuwait’s technology sector, a subsidiary of Aayan Leasing and Investment Company has acquired a strategic stake in Fresh Minds, the parent company of the digital medical services app, Dawi. The investment signals a significant push by Aayan, a prominent publicly listed company, into the rapidly growing digital healthcare market and provides a substantial boost for Dawi’s expansion plans.
A Strategic Partnership to Drive Digital Health
The deal is being framed as a strategic partnership built on a shared vision for the future of healthcare in the region. Abdullah Al-Shutti, CEO of Aayan Leasing and Investment, expressed his confidence in the investment, stating, “We are pleased to enter the digital health sector as a strategic investor, which we see as one of the most impactful sectors in the coming years. We believe the Dawi platform will be a landmark in this field thanks to its distinguished management and clear vision.”
Echoing this sentiment, Bader Sheshtari, Founder and CEO of Fresh Minds, highlighted the deal’s importance beyond its financial implications. “This is not just a financial contribution, but a strategic partnership based on trust and a shared vision, which will allow us to expand further in Kuwait and the region,” he said.
Expanding Services and Regional Footprint
The Dawi platform already serves as a key digital link between patients and healthcare providers in Kuwait, offering services like online appointment booking, virtual medical consultations, and a “Second Medical Opinion” feature. With the new strategic backing from Aayan, the company is preparing to launch a suite of new digital services and forge partnerships with major hospitals and medical institutions. This infusion of capital and expertise is set to accelerate Dawi’s mission to become a leading platform in the digital health transformation across Kuwait and the wider region.
