Ijara Capital Partners Ltd., one of Pakistan’s leading private equity and venture capital firms, has completed the acquisition of Sindlab Pvt. Ltd., according to Bloomberg. This strategic move signals the company’s growing focus on healthcare investments and its commitment to reshaping access to medical services nationwide.
The acquisition follows Ijara Capital’s earlier healthcare investment this year in Searle Pakistan Co., showcasing a clear pattern of targeted expansion. Sindlab, a well-established name in the healthcare landscape, has been operating for nearly five decades and is recognized for offering affordable diagnostic services across a wide range of areas including clinical laboratory testing, radiology, and ultrasound. The company has built a strong reputation over the years through its extensive citywide network, serving patients with reliable and accessible healthcare solutions.
Ijara Capital CEO Farrukh Ansari stated that the acquisition aligns with the firm’s long-term vision of building a robust and accessible healthcare ecosystem in Pakistan. He emphasized that Sindlab’s trusted brand, combined with its widespread retail presence, made it a natural fit for Ijara Capital’s expanding healthcare portfolio. He further added that the firm continues to explore new investment opportunities within the healthcare sector to strengthen its footprint.
The healthcare industry in Pakistan has been undergoing rapid transformation, with increasing interest from both local and international investors. Sindlab’s integration into Ijara Capital’s portfolio highlights the importance of diagnostic and preventative healthcare services in meeting national demand. The move also positions Ijara Capital strategically in a sector that is expected to see sustained growth due to rising awareness, technological advancements, and a growing population.
In its official statement, the firm described healthcare as a critical national growth pillar. Ijara Capital reaffirmed its commitment to improving accessibility through strategic investments, operational efficiency, and the adoption of innovative healthcare solutions. By focusing on long-term value creation, the firm aims to enhance service delivery standards and bridge gaps in access to quality healthcare across different regions of the country.
The acquisition of Sindlab is not only a business expansion but also a signal of increasing private sector participation in strengthening Pakistan’s healthcare infrastructure. As more investment flows into the sector, it is expected that diagnostic and treatment facilities will become more widespread, supporting the government’s efforts to improve healthcare outcomes.
With this development, Ijara Capital continues to position itself as a major player in shaping the future of healthcare delivery in Pakistan through capital infusion, innovation, and strategic partnerships.
