Adiwale Fund I, managed by Adiwale Partners, has acquired a minority stake in Clinique Ambroise Paré, a healthcare service provider in Guinea.
Clinique Ambroise Paré is one of the largest private clinics in Guinea. It was established in 2000 and serves local patients and international mining companies operating in the country.
Adiwale Fund I will actively support the modernisation of the clinic and the expansion of its services.
Vissého Gnassounou, managing partner at Adiwale Partners, commented: “Improving access to quality healthcare service for our populations is crucial. The capital injection will enable the upgrading of equipment, the launch of new services and the hiring of an additional experienced staff. This will reduce medical evacuations out of Guinea for routine medical treatments.”
Jean-Marc Savi de Tové, managing partner at Adiwale Partners, added: “Our aim is not only to provide financial support to Clinique Ambroise Paré but also to strengthen its governance, environmental and social practices, and offer operational support to position the clinic as a national benchmark.”
Dr Nabil Saad, majority shareholder and CEO of Clinique Ambroise Paré, said: “Adiwale Fund I’s investment comes at a pivotal stage of our development. Their knowledge will enable us to improve the quality of our services to international standards and sustainably enhance our governance. We are proud to see a private equity fund created and managed by Africans partner with local professionals to build a stronger and more inclusive healthcare system that provides quality care locally. This transformation, which we intend to make lasting, aligns fully with our vision of the healthcare service in Africa.”

Smart move by Adiwale. Healthcare infrastructure gaps in Guinea and across West Africa are massive, and private equity targeting quality mid-tier clinics like Clinique Ambroise Paré can be genuinely transformativ. The focus on reducing medical evacuations is spot-on, those costs drain resourses that could stay in local systems. I've seen similar plays in other emerging markets and the governance piece usualy matters way more than just capital.
