Nabta Health has raised 2 million dollars in a fresh Pre Series A round. This brings the company’s total funding to 4.5 million dollars. The UAE based healthtech startup continues to reshape women’s healthcare through a hybrid system that blends AI, digital tools, at home services and in clinic care.
A Mission to Transform Women’s Healthcare
Nabta launched in 2017 under the leadership of Sophie Smith. Her goal was simple. She wanted to create a model that meets women where they are and gives them reliable and affordable care. The company focuses on high quality clinical support backed by technology. It builds care pathways that support women through every stage of life.
The new funding pushes this mission forward. It supports wider market access and adds more capacity to scale clinical programs.
Growth Plans Across MEA
Nabta plans to expand its hybrid model across the Middle East and Africa. The company will use the new capital to build fresh diagnostic and at home testing pathways. It also plans to strengthen its clinical infrastructure through strong hospital partnerships.
Key priorities include:
- New diagnostic and testing tools
- Wider MEA expansion
- Stronger collaborations with hospitals
- Deeper partnerships with employers and insurers
These steps help Nabta reach more women and deliver faster and more reliable care options. The company also aims to support employers who want to improve wellbeing and productivity across their workforce.
Recognition and Milestones in 2025
Nabta earned major recognition this year. TIME Magazine named it to the Top HealthTech Companies 2025 list. The company also launched a Women’s Health Centre of Excellence with Clemenceau Medical Center Hospital Dubai. It expanded its corporate health solutions to serve more organisations across the region.
These milestones show its growing role as a regional leader. Its hybrid model blends virtual services, in clinic visits and community care. This mix helps improve outcomes and gives women more control over their health journeys.
Leadership Perspective on the New Funding
Founder and CEO Sophie Smith said the round validates Nabta’s vision for a tech enabled model that respects cultural context and delivers measurable impact. She stressed the need for affordable, mobile first care that aligns with the lives of women in the region.
She also highlighted a key point. Closing the women’s health gap is more than a social responsibility. It also affects economic performance. Better health support leads to stronger productivity and more stable workforces.
Chair Iain McMillan said the company gained strong traction throughout 2025. He expects even faster growth as Nabta prepares for 2026 and beyond.
