About the deal
Uroviva is the leading medical services group in the Swiss urology segment. Based on strong growth over the last decade, it is a unique platform to implement a buy & build strategy and further consolidate the Swiss market in this attractive medical sector. In partnership with ECM who has a very successful track record in the field of healthcare services, Uroviva will continue to address the increasing needs of an ageing population and follow its growth strategy by opening new urological practices and acquiring existing ones. The founders of Uroviva are convinced of the opportunities from the new partnership and thus remain invested as well as actively support the further development and growth of the company.
With more than 26’000 treatments per year, Uroviva is the leading independent urology player in Switzerland. The group is composed of a specialized clinic and a network of 9 practices in the canton of Zurich. A team of 21 highly qualified doctors with complementary sub-specializations cover the entire range of urological treatments from examinations to complex surgeries using the latest technologies.
ECM has extensive experience in implementing growth as well as buy & build strategies in the medical field. For instance, Dermatologikum Hamburg, one of Europe’s largest private specialist institutions for the diagnosis and therapy of skin diseases, started its first foreign locations with the support of ECM in September 2017 with the opening of the Dermatologikum Zürich and in December 2017 with the opening of the Dermatologikum Wien.
