India’s hospital merger between Aster DM Healthcare and Blackstone-TPG backed Care Hospitals: here’s what we know

On August 9, HBI reported on a potential merger between Aster DM Healthcare, a Dubai-based multinational hospital group with operations in Bengaluru, and Hyderabad-based Care Hospitals, owned by PE firms Blackstone and TPG. If completed the merger may lead to the creation of a new entity — possibly named Aster DM Quality Care Pvt. Ltd. — jointly managed by Aster DM’s promoters and executives from Blackstone and Care Hospitals. Both organisations currently operate approximately 4,000 beds each, with any merged entity commanding a network of over 9,000 beds. Any deal would make the new entity India’s third-largest hospital network, behind only Apollo Hospitals and Manipal Health Enterprises.

Spire’s revenue surge hints at rising private sector opportunities delivering NHS services

On September 12, Spire Healthcare, one of the UK’s top for-profit private hospital groups, reported a rise in revenues and profits. The company stated that this surge was partly driven by increased NHS outsourcing and higher private insurance uptake among working-age individuals.  The hospital’s pre-tax profits rose approximately 12% to £23 million in the first half of the year, with revenues increasing about 13% to £763 million. Spire expects annual underlying profits to range between £255 million and £275 million, having already achieved £130.6 million in the first six months.
