Mehiläinen Expands with Acquisitions of Regina Maria and MediGroup

Mehiläinen, Finland's largest healthcare and social care provider, is set to bolster its international presence by acquiring Regina Maria in Romania and MediGroup in Serbia. These significant acquisitions are part of Mehiläinen’s broader growth strategy, which aims to enhance the company’s global footprint and healthcare service offerings. In tandem with these acquisitions, private equity firm Hellman & Friedman has joined CVC Capital Partners as a significant shareholder in Mehiläinen. The subject acquisitions and new ownership arrangements are pending customary regulatory and investor approval. Regina Maria and MediGroup are prominent private healthcare providers in their respective regions, noted for their extensive service offerings and commitment to quality care. With Regina Maria’s CEO, Fady Chreih, and his team set to remain in leadership roles, the acquisition aligns with Mehiläinen’s strategic aims. The added investment from Hellman & Friedman is poised to accelerate Mehiläinen's expansion, particularly its software arm, BeeHealthy, which is already operational in 10 countries. CVC and Hellman & Friedman underscore their commitment to supporting Mehiläinen’s growth trajectory and leadership in digital healthcare innovations.
