Narayana Health Enters UK With £188.78 Million Purchase of Practice Plus Group Hospitals

The all-cash purchase gives the Indian chain access to a 12-site UK surgical network closely tied to NHS contracts.

Overview

  • Narayana Hrudayalaya UK Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Health City Cayman Islands Ltd, will acquire 100% of the equity for cash, according to the BSE filing.
  • Completion is slated within six business days of the agreement unless the parties set a different date in writing.
  • Practice Plus Group Hospitals operates 12 hospitals and surgical centres with about 330 beds and performs roughly 80,000 surgeries each year.
  • About 93% of the target’s revenue comes from NHS-contracted services, according to Financial Express reporting.
  • Narayana plans to integrate the UK network into its ecosystem and apply its technology-led operating model, including its Athma platform, to drive efficiency and throughput.
