Spain's Ministry of Health has released its annual NHS report. HBI looks at three key indicators which show where demand for for-profit healthcare is coming from.
Jim Easton is the CEO of Practice Plus Group, one of the UK’s major hospital operators. In June, HBI reported the group planned to offer a middle-market self-pay option – delivering elective surgeries like knee and hip replacements at around 75% of the usual price. Has the market's changing attitude to PMI shifted its focus?
The future of the German hospital market still hangs in the balance. As winter approaches and energy prices remain high, politicians still cannot agree on what to do about Federal Health Minister Karl Lauterbach’s proposed reforms - but whatever the outcome there are opportunities as well as challenges ahead.
It seems Dutch dentistry consolidation could be over before it had really begun, with a consultant source telling HBI the pool of top targets is drying up.
HBI speaks to Nabil Fawaz, sector manager for World Bank member MIGA. MIGA promotes cross border investment in developing countries by providing guarantees (political risk insurance and credit enhancement) to investors and lenders in sectors including healthcare.
In a rapidly opening up Saudi market full of opportunities, how attractive is the dialysis sector? HBI hears the answer is less straightforward than you might expect.
German health care conglomerate Fresenius is pushing ahead with its restructuring plans, selling its 70% stake in Peruvian hospital Clínica Ricardo Palma. The company says that focusing on hospital group Helios and drug/nutrition/devices subsidiary Kabi “is paying off” - but is this reflected in its most recent results?
Across Europe, nursing homes are in crisis. Between scandals in France, insolvencies in Germany, the threat of regulation in Spain, and fair fee woes in the UK, HBI hears that the nursing home sector is the least attractive healthcare services sector for investors. Are things really that bad - and is the threat of mass bankruptcies real?
Multinational French labs group Cerba is to enter the Saudi market, via a joint venture with Nexus Gulf Healthcare (an investment firm in the region) that will be headquartered in Riyadh.
