Baims, a MENA-based education technology group, has acquired MedMasters, an Iraq-based online medical education platform, marking its second strategic acquisition and its entry into the Iraqi market.
The transaction expands Baims’ regional footprint and strengthens its position in digital higher education across the Middle East.
Founded by Dr. Abdulazeez Salam and Dr. Zaid Imad, MedMasters operates a mobile-first marketplace for medical education, serving thousands of medical students across Iraq. The platform has reported strong organic growth and high user engagement.
Yousef AlHusaini, CEO of Baims, said the acquisition forms part of the company’s strategy to partner with founder-led platforms demonstrating established academic communities and sustainable business models.
Following the acquisition:
- MedMasters will continue operating under its existing academic identity
- Baims will provide operational support, regional scale and capital resources
- Iraqi students will gain access to additional recorded courses aligned with university curricula
- Expanded 1-to-1 tutoring services will be introduced through Baims’ tutoring platform, Orcas
The companies stated that the integration will combine recorded learning, live tutoring and digital infrastructure to expand academic support services across multiple disciplines in Iraq.
Baims currently operates in Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Egypt and the United Kingdom, providing curriculum-aligned recorded courses and personalised tutoring services.
