Africa Lighthouse Capital acquires 76% equity stake in Medlane Holdings

Africa Lighthouse Capital announced in May that it would make a substantial investment to purchase a 76 per cent equity stake in Medlane Holdings, the premier day hospital in Botswana.

This investment would support an ambitious growth plan and increase access to high-quality primary healthcare throughout Botswana.

Medlane Holdings, specialising in ophthalmic surgical procedures like corneal transplants and retinal surgeries, has made a name for itself in Botswana’s healthcare industry. Under the ongoing direction of its founders, Warren Lane and Dr Tyler Lane, Medlane Holdings will be able to expand its therapeutic focus areas more quickly thanks to this strategic investment.

With the help of Africa Lighthouse Capital, several new facilities will be established, new medical specialities will be introduced, and comprehensive pharmacy and preventative care services will be developed.

This expansion aims to lessen Botswana’s dependency on expensive outbound medical tourism while meeting the country’s increasing need for easily accessible and reasonably priced primary healthcare.

About Bayport Financial Services

In 2004, Bayport Financial Services, a non-bank supplier of unsecured credit and related products, was founded in South Africa. Bayport Money Solutions was established as an employer-driven program because the firm wanted to interact with clients in a way that promotes long-term financial wellness.

The program was not a wild guess; instead, it was based on its experience in providing financial literacy training and debt solutions to its own employees.

It collaborates with like-minded public and private sector employers to provide their staff with financial solutions. Since the launch of Bayport Money Solutions in 2019, it has witnessed directly the positive impact that well-executed, considerate, and caring debt solutions, when paired with a robust financial literacy program, can have on people’s and households’ quality of life.
