M&A WATCH- Al Tayseer Healthcare Group is seeking full ownership of Mansoura Medical Center, in which it currently holds a 20% stake, Al Mal reports, citing unnamed sources. Al Tayseer is now reportedly looking to buy the remaining 80% stake, which is owned by two unnamed private investors. The acquisition comes as part of the healthcare group’s EGP 700 mn expansion drive announced early this year, which includes the acquisition of an unnamed hospital in Northern Egypt and a EGP 200 mn expansion of their Zagazig hospital. Ezdehar Egypt Mid-Cap fund acquired a minority stake in Al Tayseer earlier this month, saying that the acquisition is meant to support the group’s investments in hospitals and labs.
