Synopsis: The release claimed that, “With this integration, Narayana Health is well-positioned to bring the hospital division of Practice Plus Group into its ecosystem, leveraging its robust technology foundation to drive innovation, operational excellence, and long-term value creation for patients, partners, and stakeholders.”
Narayana Health, a leading healthcare provider headquartered in Bengaluru, on Friday, 31 October, announced the acquisition of UK-based Practice Plus Group Hospitals, marking it’s expansion into the United Kingdom.
In the press release, the hospital group said, “This acquisition marks Narayana Health’s strategic entry into the United Kingdom healthcare market, where Practice Plus Group operates 12 hospitals and surgical centres specializing in high-quality orthopaedics, ophthalmology, and general surgery. The move significantly extends Narayana Health’s global reach and positions the company among the top three healthcare providers in India by revenue.”
The release further noted that the Practice Plus Group Hospitals is the fifth-largest private hospital group in the UK, performing approximately 80,000 surgeries annually. “Through this acquisition, Narayana Health gains access to the UK’s dynamic healthcare market, where demand for surgeries—particularly in the private sector—is expected to grow substantially in the coming years. Both organizations share a common vision and value system: the belief that healthcare should be affordable and accessible to all,” it added.
Dr. Devi Prasad Shetty, Founder and Chairman of Narayana Health, said: “The acquisition of Practice Plus Group hospitals and surgical centres is an incredibly exciting step for Narayana Health. Like Narayana Health, Practice Plus Group recognized that the majority of patients were struggling to access healthcare, while only a minority could afford costly private healthcare. We have both been working to meet the needs of those in between and to offer a new choice of more accessible private healthcare. Together, we are a perfect fit, and I look forward to welcoming Practice Plus Group to Narayana Health and helping many more patients get the care they need.”
Jim Easton, Chief Executive of Practice Plus Group, added: “Dr. Shetty and Narayana Health have an enviable reputation for delivering high-quality, efficient healthcare with a human touch. I’m excited about what Practice Plus Group’s hospitals and surgical centres can achieve with the commitment and expertise of Narayana Health behind us.”
The release claimed that, “With this integration, Narayana Health is well-positioned to bring the hospital division of Practice Plus Group into its ecosystem, leveraging its robust technology foundation to drive innovation, operational excellence, and long-term value creation for patients, partners, and stakeholders.”
