Instrumental in driving advancements in fertility, reproductive medicine and women's health on a global scale, Majd Abu Zant is the Managing Director and CEO of Global Fertility, a healthcare investment venture specializing in fertility and women's health; and the co-founder and Chairman of Ovasave, the region's first femtech startup focusing on fertility and reproductive medicine, both recognized as pioneers in the field.
Pushing boundaries in areas that were once considered taboo in the region, Abu Zant is a trailblazing figure in the field of fertility and women's health.
He founded Global Fertility to expand access to advanced reproductive treatments throughout the GCC through a unified network under the name of Bnoon.
Over one decade ago, he launched HealthPlus Fertility as a regional IVF brand, helping thousands of families achieve their dream of parenthood through safe, top-quality care.
Also instrumental in developing and opening several hospitals and clinics across the UAE and KSA, one of Abu Zant's missions was to increase the capacity for fertility and specialty care in both markets.
In 2023, he also co-founded Ovasave, a femtech platform dedicated to making fertility preservation and hormone care accessible to women across the MENA region. Backed by over 27 years of diverse, strategic, and results-driven leadership experience within the healthcare industry, Abu Zant is also recognized as a respected thought leader, global mentor, and expert in the field.
Having established collaborations with prominent international healthcare institutions across Asia, Europe, and North America, he has driven robust partnerships and contributed to the development of innovative healthcare services and world-class facilities.
Prior to founding Global Fertility and Ovasave in 2023, Abu Zant was CEO of UEMedical, overseeing over 100 healthcare facilities across the UAE and KSA. Under his leadership, UEMedical became a leader in women's and children's health with the launch of Danat Al Emarat Hospital, and HealthPlus Network in addition to Moorfields Abu Dhabi. In 2022, he successfully led UEMedical's exit to Mubadala in one of the region's largest healthcare transactions.
By 2030, Abu Zant has set his sights on elevating women's health and fertility care across the Middle East, a responsibility he has embraced through Global Fertility, Bnoon, and Ovasave. In less than 18 months, under Global Fertility, he has unified two major IVF acquisitions in Riyadh and Jeddah under the Bnoon brand, now KSA's largest stand-alone fertility network delivering 5,000 IVF cycles a year. In parallel, he closed a US$1.2 million pre-seed round in 2025 for Ovasave which has already helped thousands of women gain access to knowledge and tools once considered out of reach.
