In a major step toward transforming healthcare and financial access across emerging markets, Nabta Health has announced a strategic partnership with Metric, a business finance and analytics platform, to empower over 1,000 clinics across the Middle East and Africa over the next five years.
The collaboration aims to equip local clinic owners and medical professionals with advanced tools that blend financial intelligence, digital health management, and patient-centered care. Through this initiative, clinics will be able to operate more efficiently and sustainably while maintaining full ownership and independence.
The partnership brings together , designed to optimize transparency, profitability, and resource management for small and medium-sized medical practices. Together, the two companies are building a framework that enables healthcare providers to deliver high-quality services while maintaining financial clarity and operational control.
According to the announcement, the collaboration will empower clinic owners to access corporate health integrations and digital infrastructure without the need for large capital investments. This is expected to drive financial inclusion in healthcare by enabling smaller clinics to leverage the same level of financial insight and operational efficiency as larger institutions.
Sophie Smith, CEO and Co-founder of Nabta Health, described the partnership as a pivotal step toward the company’s mission of making accessible and equitable healthcare a reality across developing markets. “Our goal has always been to ensure that care remains patient-centred, locally delivered, and financially sustainable,” she said. “By embedding Metric’s financial intelligence into our hybrid care model, we are helping clinics build the foundation for scalable, transparent health systems.”
The collaboration also focuses on integrating data analytics and financial transparency directly at the clinic level, an area where many small healthcare providers struggle due to limited access to financial management tools. With Metric’s platform, clinics will be able to automate accounting, monitor performance metrics, and make data-driven decisions to improve profitability while maintaining quality of care.
For communities across the Middle East and Africa, the partnership holds promise for expanding access to reliable, capital-efficient healthcare. By combining healthtech innovation with financial technology, Nabta Health and Metric are positioning local providers to meet rising patient demand without compromising affordability or autonomy.
The initiative is aligned with broader regional efforts to digitize healthcare ecosystems and promote sustainable business models in the medical sector. Both organizations view this collaboration as part of a long-term vision to create a resilient, tech-enabled healthcare infrastructure that benefits practitioners and patients alike.
By bridging the gap between health services and financial empowerment, Nabta Health and Metric are setting a new benchmark for how technology can enhance both patient care and business sustainability, ultimately redefining what accessible healthcare means in emerging markets.
