Doktor 24 is a leading Hungarian provider of healthcare services. V4C’s financing catalyzes the Group’s acquisition of Kastélypark Klinika and Svábhedgyi Gyermekgyógyintézet. V4C’s investment made alongside co-investor Ananda Impact Ventures.
Value4Capital, the lower mid-market Polish and central European buy-out manager, today announced the completion of an investment in the Doktor 24 group of companies (“Dr24” or the “Group”) by its V4C Poland Plus Fund (the “Fund”). Dr24 (www.doktor24.hu) is a leading Hungarian provider of occupational and outpatient medical services.
The Fund’s investment will finance Dr24’s acquisition of two other well recognized healthcare businesses in Hungary, propelling the Group to one of the top positions on the local market with an expanded range of outpatient services for adults and children, inpatient orthopedic surgery facilities and a sizeable occupational healthcare client base.
The deal includes a co-investment by Ananda Impact Ventures and a partial re-investment by the founder of Svabhedgyi, Dr. Otto Skoran. The Group’s other shareholders include Dr24’s founders Robert Lancz and Dr. János Kóka along with the participation of several of the Group’s doctors and managers.
The V4C deal team included Bill Watson, Bogdan Chirita and Jacek Pogonowski. They were advised by PWC Hungary for financial, tax and commercial due diligence and Dentons for legal diligence and transaction execution. Heal Partners of Budapest provided additional financial advisory services.
