It has been a busy year for insurer, hospital operator and care group Bupa. New CEO Stuart Fletcher is spending roughly £1.25bn to buy businesses in half a dozen countries across the world. That includes the planned acquisition of Cruz Blanca, a Chilean service provider and insurer, as well as the purchases of Quality HealthCare (a network of 102 outpatient clinics and 500 affiliates in Hong Kong), Richmond Villages (an assisted living business in the UK), LUX MED (the largest subscription healthcare operator in Poland), ten nursing homes in Australia, and dentists here, there and everywhere. All this is part of the Bupa 2020 master plan, which will see the world’s largest player in ex-pat insurance deliver far more integrated care. We talk to Fletcher to find out more.
