Egyptian Medical Training Platform, 5 Quarters Secures an Undisclosed Seed Round for Growth
“5 Quarters,” a Cairo-based medical startup, has raised Seed funding from a Saudi angel investor to fuel its Saudi expansion plans and add new services for medical professionals.
5 Quarters, founded in 2016 by Mohamed Salah and Noha Emad, began as a medical and dental courses startup and has been in the medical education market for more than 6 years, primarily in Egypt.
The investment will be used to fuel the company’s growth in both directions, according to the company: horizontal growth by expanding our practical practice into Saudi Arabia, and vertical growth by adding new services to medical professionals, clinics, and hospitals.
The name is derived from the four branches of healthcare: medical, dental, pharmaceutical, and physiotherapy. The fifth quadrant is what they promise; they provide extra value that you won’t find anywhere else.
The startup provides healthcare professionals with online courses taught by the best trainers in their field using the latest technology and content with ADA-accredited certificates, as well as practical training and on-the-ground courses to put what they’ve learned into practice and demonstrate their work.
They have served over 15,000 customers in Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Libya, Iraq, the United Arab Emirates, Tunisia, and Jordan to date.
They discovered that healthcare graduates and professionals faced three major issues: outdated content and a lack of good training in faculties, expensive traditional training, and so on.
5 Quarters addresses all of this by providing a diverse range of online courses taught by top trainers who hold ADA-accredited certificates. Along with hands-on training and classroom instruction.
The founders stated that they have been driven by youth’s intense passion and a genuine sense of duty to help the medical community everywhere by providing better education at affordable prices since their early beginnings.
