TruDoc has secured $15 million in a Pre-Series B round to deepen its virtual-first healthcare offering and accelerate expansion across the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC). The infusion includes participation from members of the Al Nahyan and Al‑Ketbi families, alongside follow-on capital from existing backer Pulsar Capital.
Funding to scale a digital healthcare ecosystem
The new capital will be deployed to scale technology infrastructure, broaden the company’s service network and enhance patient-centred digital care. TruDoc said the funds will support development of a comprehensive digital healthcare ecosystem that enables consultations, diagnostics and treatment through remote channels.
Investors’ interest underscores the rising appetite for healthtech solutions that improve access and efficiency, particularly in regions where demand for healthcare services is growing rapidly.
Virtual‑first model and services
TruDoc operates a virtual‑first model that combines telemedicine, remote monitoring, diagnostics and home‑based care on a single platform. The service mix includes 24/7 teleconsultations, chronic disease telemonitoring, home healthcare visits, lab diagnostics and digital wellness programmes, designed to reduce the need for routine hospital visits.
Founded in 2011 by Raouf Khalil, the company has expanded across the UAE, Saudi Arabia and parts of Africa, positioning itself as a leading virtual care provider in the GCC by focusing on technology-driven solutions to bridge accessibility gaps.
Investing in digital health infrastructure
TruDoc plans targeted investments in advanced digital health technologies, including AI‑enabled tools, remote patient monitoring systems and integrated care management platforms. These capabilities aim to improve clinical outcomes, enable personalised care pathways and streamline operations.
The company is also expected to deepen partnerships with healthcare providers, insurers and corporate clients to extend its reach. By integrating digital capabilities with traditional care networks, TruDoc seeks to reduce costs while improving the quality and convenience of care.
Context: telemedicine adoption and investor momentum
The accelerated adoption of telemedicine since the COVID‑19 pandemic has created a favourable backdrop for digital health firms. Globally, investors are increasingly backing scalable, technology‑centric healthcare models that prioritise patient access and affordability.
TruDoc’s fundraising and regional expansion reflect this broader market shift. With additional capital and continued investor support, the company aims to solidify its role in the GCC’s evolving healthtech ecosystem and expand access to on‑demand, digitally delivered care.
