Baims Acquires Iraq’s MedMasters, Expands into Digital Medical Education Market
Baims, a MENA-based education technology group, has announced the acquisition of Iraq-based digital medical education platform MedMasters, marking its second strategic acquisition and its official entry into the Iraqi market.
The transaction expands Baims’ regional footprint and strengthens its position in digital higher education across the Middle East by partnering with founder-led platforms that demonstrate established academic communities and sustainable business models.
Founded by Dr. Abdulazeez Salam and Dr. Zaid Imad, MedMasters operates a mobile-first medical education marketplace serving thousands of medical students across Iraq. The platform has reported strong organic growth and high user engagement.
Yousef AlHusaini, CEO of Baims, stated that the acquisition aligns with the company’s strategy to collaborate with founder-led platforms that have built established academic communities and sustainable operating models.
Following the acquisition:
- MedMasters will continue operating under its existing academic identity within Baims
- Baims will provide operational support, regional scale, and capital resources
- Iraqi students will gain access to additional curriculum-aligned recorded courses
- Expanded 1-to-1 tutoring services will be introduced through Baims’ tutoring platform, Orcas
The companies noted 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, offering curriculum-aligned recorded courses and personalised tutoring services.
