UAE-based healthtech platform TruDoc Healthcare has successfully closed a $15 million pre-Series B funding round. The investment saw significant participation from the Al Nahyan and Al-Ketbi families, alongside continued support from existing investor Pulsar Capital, which acquired a majority stake in the company in 2023.
Redefining Patient Care Beyond Hospital Walls
Founded in 2011 by Raouf Khalil, TruDoc is at the forefront of shifting healthcare delivery from traditional hospital settings to a more accessible, patient-centric model. The company offers a full-stack platform combining virtual-first primary care, chronic disease management, pharmacy delivery, diagnostics, and in-home medical services.
This integrated approach aims to create a continuous care journey, delivering faster intervention and better patient outcomes by bypassing the bottlenecks of physical infrastructure.
Strategic Expansion Across The GCC
The new capital will be instrumental in fueling TruDoc’s expansion across the UAE and Saudi Arabia. A key focus will be on scaling its at-home care infrastructure, particularly its hospital-at-home critical care programme, which is already one of the largest in the GCC. By strengthening its integrated model, TruDoc aims to become the region’s primary accountable care partner for patients, payors, and providers alike.
Leadership Vision For Healthcare’s Future
The investment signals growing confidence in new healthcare models that are more scalable and efficient.
Dr. Ahmed Mansour, CEO of the Private Department of H.E. SH. Mohamed Bin Khaled Al Nahyan, commented, “Healthcare systems everywhere are being asked to do more—serve more people, manage more chronic disease, and deliver better outcomes—without endlessly expanding physical infrastructure. TruDoc represents a fundamentally different approach: one that scales access and efficiency while maintaining clinical integrity. This model is well aligned with the UAE’s long-term priorities.”
Vish Narain, Executive Chairman at TruDoc, explained the paradigm shift, stating, “For centuries, healthcare has been organised around buildings—patients moving toward facilities, systems optimised for episodic care. That architecture no longer reflects how people live, age, or manage chronic disease. What TruDoc is building is healthcare as infrastructure: continuous, accountable, and designed to operate beyond four walls at population scale.”
“The question is no longer whether high-quality care can be delivered outside hospitals—it’s how fast healthcare systems can adapt to that reality,” said Asad Khan, CEO at TruDoc. “This capital allows us to expand that model across the GCC while staying relentlessly focused on clinical excellence and patient trust.”
