Healthcare buyouts boom with third deal in a week

Healthcare is enjoying a period of frenzied private equity activity, with BC Partners' sale of Swiss hospital operator Hirslanden Group today becoming the third deal in the sector this week.

The sale of Hirslanden, snapped up by South African hospitals group Medi-Clinic for Sfr3.6bn (€2.2bn), follows buyouts of UK care homes groups Care Principles and Healthcare at Home earlier in the week.
