XRP Healthcare, a tech driven firm that recently acquired Ugandan pharmacy chain, Pharma Ville, plans to go public by Q3 2025.
The company has accelerated its initial public offering (IPO) timeline, moving its listing date from 2027 to the third quarter of this year on a Canadian stock exchange. This move aims to fast-track expansion, unlock new investment opportunities, and solidify the firm’s position as a global leader in healthcare transformation.
Abraham Cinta, CEO of ARC Group, in an exclusive interview featured in XRP Healthcare’s Special Edition Magazine said, “being in the spotlight could exponentially transform the company’s business, potentially by a factor of 10 or even 100.”
XRP Healthcare recently acquired Pharma Ville to help it have direct access to vital pharmaceutical and medical infrastructure, strengthening its foothold in Africa’s projected $259 billion healthcare market. Its IPO process is being guided by ARC Group, a globally recognized capital markets advisory firm.
According to Charles Chong, Vice President of EMEA Capital Markets at ARC Group, “the listing in Canada is only the beginning since the long-term strategy includes securing a U.S. listing within five years to enhance investor exposure and global market visibility.”
Tapping AI app
Supporting its vision for accessible healthcare, XRP Healthcare has launched the XRPH AI App, a global multilingual digital health assistant available on the Google Play Store and Apple App Store. The app provides AI-generated medical guidance, localized in multiple languages, making it a vital tool in regions with limited healthcare infrastructure.
Recent updates include an image upload feature for AI-assisted analysis of visible symptoms such as rashes, swelling, and fungal infections. A “Doctor Search & Connect” feature, set to launch next quarter, will allow users to connect with licensed medical professionals in their area.
By bridging healthcare access gaps, the XRPH AI App positions XRP Healthcare at the forefront of consumer-driven digital health innovation. Whitney Lyn, Chairman of XRP Healthcare said the healthcare firm is at a pivotal moment and will soon become a publicly listed company before September.
Africa-focused growth strategy
With trademark protection secured in the United Kingdom, European Union, UAE, and Uganda, XRP Healthcare is building a recognizable and defensible brand in digital healthcare. Laban Roomes, COO, described Pharma Ville as a strategic cornerstone in the company’s IPO acceleration, emphasizing that the five wholesale and two retail pharmacies in Uganda mark just the beginning.
XRP Healthcare’s rapid expansion model is well suited for Africa, where 57 per cent of Uganda’s 46 million people rely on private healthcare providers, with over 6,000 fragmented operators in the market.
“We’ve laid the foundation for scale and are on track to list before autumn, unlocking capital to drive regional expansion and transform healthcare delivery across Africa,” said Laban Roomes.
Kain Roomes, CEO of XRP Healthcare, further emphasized the significance of consolidating and modernizing Africa’s private healthcare sector, which accounts for 50 per cent of total service delivery.
“The IPO allows us to accelerate our mission and strengthen healthcare access and quality across the continent.”
Looking ahead, XRP Healthcare plans to expand into Kenya and Rwanda, leveraging the legal, operational, and regulatory frameworks already established in Uganda.
Key partnerships
Following the Pharma Ville acquisition, XRP Healthcare has forged partnerships with leading pharmaceutical and healthcare providers to enhance distribution and operations across Africa. These partnerships include:
Incepta Pharmaceuticals – Generics and vaccines
Ascensia Diabetes Care – Diabetes management solutions

Additionally, XRP Healthcare has secured an exclusive distribution agreement across Africa with Isansys Lifecare, led by CTO Keith Errey, for the deployment of the Patient Status Engine (PSE). This fully wireless, AI-powered medical platform integrates advanced sensors, deep learning, and predictive analytics to enable earlier interventions, home-based care, and paperless hospital wards. The PSE is expected to revolutionize healthcare delivery by reducing pressure on hospitals and medical staff.
