Manzil Health Care Services plays an important role in the local community of Abu Dhabi and we plan to work together to enhance and expand its offering throughout the region. We were especially impressed by the professionalism of the existing team, licensed by the Health Authority of Abu Dhabi and Ministry of Health, which is not a given in the homecare sector, as well as of ethics and dedication of all staff member but especially of Dr. Ghuwaya. We are very pleased to have access to her valuable advice and experience.”

We can now concentrate on expanding our services within the Abu Dhabi community and in a second step expand our business scope. I also very much look forward to cooperate with TVM Capital MENA’s existing portfolio – this will give us access to best –practice management and procedures on international level.”
Manzil Health Care Services joins TVM Capital MENA’s existing portfolio companies, ProVita International Medical Center, Cambridge Medical and Rehabilitation Center and Bourn Hall International.
