Cambridge Health Group has reported a strong first half of 2026, with revenue increasing 28% and EBITDA rising 58%, alongside continued growth in patient volumes and operating capacity.
The results come as parent company Amanat Holdings accelerates its healthcare expansion strategy across the GCC, including new post-acute and rehabilitation capacity in Saudi Arabia.
For the regional rehabilitation sector, the figures are significant because they show not only higher patient demand, but also improving operating leverage as specialist post-acute and long-term care services scale across the Gulf.
Cambridge Health Group said the combination of growth in volumes and capacity with a substantially faster increase in EBITDA demonstrates the improving economics of its expanding healthcare platform.
Amanat delivers strong H1 2026 performance
The Cambridge Health Group figures form part of a broader strong first-half performance from Amanat Holdings.
Amanat reported revenue of AED 582.5 million, representing growth of 24%, while EBITDA increased 30% to AED 226.4 million.
Profit from continuing operations increased 46% to AED 153.3 million.
The performance comes as Amanat begins executing a new long-term growth strategy that includes approximately AED 1.5 billion of planned investment in the near term.
The group is also targeting a minimum dividend yield equivalent to 7 fils per share over the next three years, alongside continued expansion across its healthcare and education businesses.
Full ownership of Cambridge Health Group
One of Amanat’s most important healthcare moves has been the completion of its acquisition of 100% of Cambridge Health Group.
That gives Amanat full control of a specialist healthcare platform focused on areas including long-term care, post-acute rehabilitation and complex medical services.
The strategic rationale is increasingly clear.
Across the GCC, healthcare systems are facing rising demand from ageing populations, chronic disease, neurological conditions, trauma and complex post-surgical cases.
At the same time, governments are trying to reduce pressure on acute hospital beds by moving appropriate patients into dedicated rehabilitation, long-term care and post-acute environments.
Cambridge Health Group sits directly within that shift.
For the IMEA rehabilitation community, this is important because it represents growing institutional investment in a segment traditionally dominated by smaller specialist providers and public-sector facilities.
New 155-bed post-acute facility planned in Riyadh
Saudi Arabia is emerging as a major area of expansion.
Amanat has announced a new 155-bed integrated post-acute care facility in Riyadh, adding substantial capacity to its existing healthcare platform.
The development is particularly relevant to rehabilitation professionals because integrated post-acute care typically serves patients who no longer require acute hospital treatment but still need structured medical, nursing and rehabilitation support.
This can include patients recovering from:
- stroke;
- traumatic brain injury;
- spinal cord injury;
- major orthopaedic surgery;
- prolonged intensive-care admissions;
- complex neurological conditions;
- amputation;
- severe trauma; and
- chronic disability requiring multidisciplinary rehabilitation.
For prosthetists, orthotists, physiotherapists, occupational therapists and rehabilitation physicians, the growth of post-acute care infrastructure can create new referral pathways and demand for specialist services.
Jeddah expansion adds another 70 beds
Amanat is also expanding its healthcare presence in Jeddah with a further 70-bed capacity increase.
Taken together with the Riyadh project, the developments show that Saudi Arabia is becoming a core growth market for the group.
This aligns with the broader transformation taking place across the Saudi healthcare sector, where private providers are being encouraged to play a larger role in specialist and long-term care.
For O&P providers, this shift matters.
Rehabilitation hospitals and long-term care facilities often generate recurring requirements for:
- AFOs and KAFOs;
- spinal orthoses;
- contracture-management devices;
- pressure-relief systems;
- positioning equipment;
- custom seating;
- upper-limb splints;
- prosthetic rehabilitation;
- diabetic-foot management; and
- mobility and assistive technologies.
As specialist bed capacity grows, the opportunity for integrated O&P services grows with it.
Operating leverage is an important signal
Cambridge Health Group’s 58% increase in EBITDA compared with 28% revenue growth is particularly noteworthy.
While revenue growth demonstrates greater activity, the substantially faster increase in EBITDA suggests that the business is gaining operating leverage as facilities fill and fixed costs are spread across higher patient volumes.
For investors, that demonstrates the potential scalability of specialist healthcare.
For rehabilitation professionals, it shows that post-acute care is increasingly being treated as an investable healthcare category rather than simply an extension of hospital services.
That could accelerate private investment into rehabilitation infrastructure across the GCC.
Historically, much of the region’s healthcare investment has focused on acute hospitals, diagnostics and specialist surgical care.
Rehabilitation and long-term care are increasingly becoming strategic priorities in their own right.
Growing demand for multidisciplinary rehabilitation
The expansion also reflects a broader change in the type of healthcare demand developing across the Gulf.
Longer life expectancy, rising rates of diabetes and cardiovascular disease and advances in trauma and intensive-care medicine mean more patients are surviving conditions that previously resulted in mortality but may now leave significant rehabilitation needs.
Those patients often require weeks or months of multidisciplinary care.
This creates demand not just for beds, but for specialist rehabilitation teams.
A modern post-acute facility may require physiatrists, rehabilitation nurses, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, speech and language therapists, respiratory therapists, psychologists, prosthetists, orthotists and assistive-technology specialists.
The growth of operators such as Cambridge Health Group therefore has potential implications for the entire rehabilitation workforce.
Saudi Arabia becoming a regional rehabilitation investment market
The scale of Amanat’s planned investment suggests that rehabilitation and long-term care are moving further into the mainstream of GCC healthcare investment.
Saudi Arabia in particular is becoming one of the region’s most important markets.
Large-scale projects in Riyadh and Jeddah indicate that operators are expecting sustained demand for post-acute rehabilitation rather than short-term growth.
For international rehabilitation technology manufacturers and O&P suppliers, this creates opportunities but also raises expectations.
Large healthcare groups increasingly want suppliers capable of providing not only products, but also:
- clinical training;
- standardised protocols;
- digital integration;
- outcome measurement;
- service support; and
- scalable regional supply.
That favours companies able to work across multiple facilities and support multidisciplinary clinical teams.
A stronger commercial case for rehabilitation
Cambridge Health Group’s first-half results provide a useful indication of how the economics of rehabilitation are changing across the GCC.
Revenue growth of 28% is substantial, but the 58% increase in EBITDA may be the more important figure.
It demonstrates that as patient numbers and capacity expand, specialist post-acute and long-term care can potentially generate increasingly attractive financial performance.
For the IMEA CPO community, this matters because expanding rehabilitation platforms create new clinical environments in which prosthetic and orthotic services can become embedded.
The next phase of healthcare growth across the Gulf may therefore be less focused solely on acute hospital construction and increasingly centred on what happens after patients leave acute care.
With new facilities planned in Riyadh, additional capacity in Jeddah and Amanat committing significant capital to further growth, Cambridge Health Group is positioning itself at the centre of that transition.
