Admaius Capital Partners, a private equity fund focused on investing in sectors with high impact in Africa, has announced the acquisition of St. Christopher Iba Mar Diop Medical School, founded in 2003 in Dakar.

Considered one of the leaders in private medical education in Francophone West Africa, the school currently has approximately 2,550 students, 70% of whom come from twenty different countries, with the majority practicing in Senegal and neighboring countries, including Morocco, Mauritania, Côte d’Ivoire, Cameroon and Chad.

With this investment, Admaius aims to increase the school’s capacity in terms of medical, dental and pharmacy students, enhance facilities that leverage new technologies, and more generally, add value to the school’s practical training and the African medical profession on the whole.

The Asafo & Co. team advising Admaius was led by partner Patrick Larrivé who was assisted by Martin Van Box Som, Zineb Benabdellah, Assia Khalidi, Noor Rachid, Souhail Sassi and Othmane Mestari.
