MC Groep, after taking control of a general hospital group in 2008, has just bought privatised hospital Slotervaart Ziekenhuis. This adds to its existing operation Stichting Ijsselmeerziekenhuizen, more than doubling its scale. Healthcare Europa estimates that, all together, MC generates sales of around €250m a year. We talk to Director Philipp Jan Flach about the MC model, the group’s plans and how he sees the Dutch market. Flach, a medical doctor, spent seven years at Bain before joining MC Groep in 2009.
