In March 2011, Advent International completed its acquisition of a controlling stake in ISIDA, one of Ukraine’s leading medical treatment and healthcare providers.

Founded in 1994 in Kiev, ISIDA is unique in providing world class gynaecological, maternity and paediatric care services as well as the latest fertility treatment and genetic research under one roof.

Ukraine is a key emerging market in Central and Eastern Europe with strong demand for high quality healthcare services.

ISIDA is Advent’s first investment in Ukraine. Among the competitive advantages that attracted Advent to ISIDA were its unique combination of high quality medical services in one location that attract clients from across the world, a patient oriented culture and growth opportunities based on the market demand for quality care and medical excellence.

Advent’s strategy going forward is to work with ISIDA to expand its medical treatment and healthcare services beyond Kiev, providing sector expertise, a recognised and trusted brand, and capital to develop new facilities.
