Interview: Dr Mark Kurtser, chairman, MD Medical Group

Shares in MDMG, the largest Russian player in obs, gynae and paediatrics have crashed 70% since its listing on the London Stock Exchange in 2012, yet there doesn’t seem a lot wrong with the half year results with sales up 36% at RUB 4.52bn ($70m) and EBITDA ahead 29% at RUB 1.25bn ($20m) in the first half of 2015. Kurtser, once chief obstetrician and gynaecologist of the city of Moscow and the go-to-doctor for the Russian elite, has built the business from scratch and still owns 68%.

Interview: Nicolas Weber, Co-Founder, medneo

A new business model in Germany has started to change the operation of diagnostic imaging centres by offering very high quality images at low prices to physicians, hospitals, research institutes and payors. Instead of buying equipment as in the past, customers can buy clinical images – pay-per-use. We talk to Nicolas Weber, one of three ex-Siemens managers who set up the business in 2011. Marcol, the big UK investor most commonly linked to property, is backing medneo which plans a big international expansion.

Interview: Stefan Larsson, Senior Partner, BCG

Worldwide, Stefan Larsson foresees a strong move in healthcare away from fee for service, in which quality is not measured and rewarded, to a system which measures and rewards outcomes. He thinks that model will apply across acute, elderly and chronic care. But how real is the shift? Here we talk to Larsson about examples of operators who have seen significant growth and about how payors are about to shift away from DRGs. He is a Co-founder of the International Consortium for Health Outcomes Measurement (ICHOM), a not-for-profit devoted to the development of global standards for measurement of health outcomes that matter to patients.
