The overarching aim of the strategic partnership is to provide clinical consultancy services, including healthcare planning, clinical governance and clinical audits, education and training services, expert opinions and patient referrals for future healthcare facilities being developed and operated in the Middle East and North Africa region by Elevate. This will increase the quality and impact of healthcare facilities run by Elevate, as well as the overall health ecosystem in which they operate.
The British Embassy, Cairo, hosted an event where the parties formalised the partnership with an official signing of a framework agreement, presided over by the Egyptian Minister of Health and Population, Dr Khaled Abdel Ghaffar. This follows the signing of a <a href="https://www.lexica.co.uk/articles/elevate-capital-and-lexica-partnership" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">letter of intent</a> between the three parties in January 2023 at Arab Health, Dubai, supported by Mark Oakes, Head of Life Sciences (Exports) at the UK Department for Business and Trade.
