Hospitals in Cuxhaven, Waltershausen-Friedrichroda and Boizenburg Initially
to Remain with RHÖN for Merger Control Reasons
The hospitals in Cuxhaven, Waltershausen-Friedrichroda and Boizenburg have
been removed from the application to the German Bundeskartellamt
(Independent Competition Authority) following a current evaluation of
merger control aspects for the entire transaction. These facilities will
not transfer to Fresenius / Helios but will initially remain with the RHÖN
KLINIKUM AG corporate group. This also applies to a number of medical care
centre (MVZ) companies which are connected to the above hospitals either
for regional reasons or through their corporate concept. In the next few
months RHÖN-KLINIKUM AG will develop and implement a sustainable
alternative concept for the future of these hospitals.
Based on current knowledge of the facts, RHÖN assumes that the
Bundeskartellamt will clear the transaction for a total of 40 hospitals
within the procedural deadline.
