Fresenius Helios completes acquisition of Rhon-Klinikum hospitals

Fresenius Helios has completed the acquisition of 38 hospitals and 11 infirmaries from the Rhon-Klinikum company. The takeover of two hospitals - HSK (Dr. Horst Schmidt Kliniken GmbH) in Wiesbaden and Klinikum Salzgitter GmbH in the namesake city - is still pending approval from municipal shareholders. About 70 percent of the acquired business is already consolidated, Fresenius Helios announced in a release.

The company expects this acquisition to increase the profit per share as early as this year. As of 2015, the expected profit will also include the costs of integration.

Besides, an agreement has been signed between the operators of hospitals Helios, Rhon-Klinikum and Asklepios, with the aim of establishing and developing a network of hospitals that will offer innovative models of health care across Germany. Public, non-profitable and other private hospitals are free to join.

The Fresenius Group supplies products and services for dialysis, hospitals and patient care at infirmaries. In 2013, the Group generated a revenue of EUR 20.3 billion, employing a total of 178,337 people world wide on 31 December 2013.
