The company aims to leverage cutting-edge technologies, particularly AI, to drive innovation and reshape healthcare standards. PureCS, known for its expertise in delivering transformative digital health projects, brings valuable capabilities to the PureHealth ecosystem.
PureCS is notably credited with executing the UAE’s largest digital health project, “Riayati,” the national unified medical records platform. This groundbreaking initiative has consolidated more than 17 million unique electronic medical records, streamlining access, enhancing efficiency, and promoting cost-effectiveness in the UAE’s healthcare sector.
Farhan Malik, Managing Director and Group CEO at PureHealth, expressed his satisfaction with the acquisition, stating, “We are pleased to announce this acquisition, which further strengthens our position as we continue to revolutionize the healthcare industry.

Junaid Khan, Chief Technology Officer at PureHealth, expressed excitement about the integration, stating, “We are excited to bring PureCS as part of the PureHealth Group. Healthcare companies can often face the challenge of information locked into various different systems. This acquisition will enable us to create a comprehensive health tech platform, with a holistic view of IT system requirements rather than an ecosystem operating in silos.”
As PureHealth focuses on initiatives such as “Hospital in the Cloud,” the acquisition of PureCS is expected to eliminate inefficiencies, improve operational excellence, and contribute to the vision of healthcare in the cloud. The synergy between PureHealth and PureCS positions the combined entity as a trailblazer in the healthcare technology landscape, poised to deliver innovative solutions and drive positive impacts on the lives of individuals and communities.
