PureHealth Closes €800 Million Deal for 60% of Greece’s Hellenic Healthcare Group

The majority stake advances the Abu Dhabi operator’s bid to build a globally connected care platform.

Overview

  • The completed transaction gives PureHealth control of HHG’s operations across Greece and Cyprus for a 60% shareholding.
  • HHG adds 11 hospitals, 23 diagnostic centres and more than 6,900 healthcare professionals serving roughly 1.4 million patients a year to PureHealth’s network.
  • PureHealth said it expects to recognise financial upside from October 1, citing execution through its balance sheet.
  • Public reports differ on the exact remaining ownership split and implied valuation, with accounts citing either a combined 40% for CVC and management or a 35% stake for CVC and 5% for CEO Dimitris Spyridis, and valuations referenced at €1.3bn and previously €2.2bn.
  • A closing ceremony in Greece featured senior Greek ministers and the UAE ambassador, and the deal follows PureHealth’s acquisitions of the UK’s Circle Health and a stake in US-based Ardent Health.
