25-04-2025; Casablanca. Mediterrania Capital Partners, a Private Equity firm focused on growth investments for SMEs and mid-cap companies in North Africa and Sub-Saharan Africa, is pleased to announce the successful full exit of its investment in Akdital through the MC III fund. The investment has delivered exceptional financial returns and measurable impact outcomes.
Since Mediterrania’s investment in Akdital in March 2020, and under the leadership of Dr Rochdi Talib, Akdital’s Founder and CEO, the company has grown to become the leading private healthcare group in Morocco, offering advanced medical services through a network of multidisciplinary hospitals across major cities.
Akdital’s journey under Mediterrania’s tenure has been one of exceptional growth and social progress. Since our investment, the company’s workforce has quadrupled to 7,000 people, including 5,600 women, growing by 53% in 2024 alone. With 79% of its workforce being female, Akdital strongly aligns with Mediterrania’s 2X Challenge commitments and broader gender inclusion objectives.
Operationally, Akdital has expanded to 35 hospitals, 29 of which were newly created, providing over 2,300 operational beds and delivering critical 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, whose leadership was instrumental in steering Akdital through its IPO and subsequent SPO, achieving a substantial increase in share value. With a market capitalisation close to €2 billion, Akdital is now recognised as a leading African unicorn and a key provider of quality healthcare services across the region.
This exit is a testament to Mediterrania Capital’s mission: delivering strong financial returns while accelerating inclusive and sustainable development across Africa.
Albert Alsina, CEO of Mediterrania Capital Partners, commented: “This is a proud moment for our team and our investors. Our partnership with Akdital demonstrates how a well-executed investment strategy can deliver extraordinary impact and top-tier financial performance. We are thrilled to have played a role in the growth of one of Africa’s healthcare champions.”
Hatim Ben Ahmed, Managing Partner of Mediterrania Capital Partners, concluded: “Akdital’s expansion has been an extremely rewarding investment, delivering a development impact for the continent that exceeded all expectations. It has fundamentally transformed the landscape of healthcare in Africa, culminating in one of the most successful IPOs in the region’s history — a true testament to what visionary growth capital can achieve.”
