According to the statement, Anima is the first private medical chain with its own family medicine network in Romania and one of the largest private providers of outpatient medical services under contract with Bucharest Health Insurance House (CASMB), covering over 15 specialities. Anima currently has 75,000 corporate subscribers, focused mainly on subscriptions covering labor medicine services. In 2016, Anima registered a turnover of EUR5.2 million.
„Anima will remain an autonomous company, with a sales department that will operate differently and independently from the one promoting the brand MedLife,” said Mihai Marcu, President and CEO of MedLife.
KPMG Deal Advisory and Sergiu Negut acted as consultants on behalf of the seller and TaxHouse and Dima&Asociatii acted as consultants on behalf of MedLife.
The acquisition of medical clinic chain Anima is the 15th acquisition carried out by MedLife group to date.
MedLife operates medical clinic and laboratory chains, general and specialized hospitals and has a considerable client base for health prevention packages. MedLife and the companies it controls had more than 5 million unique patients, the equivalent of approximately one in four Romanians. MedLife group has opened or acquired 83 medical units since 2009.
