Abu Dhabi’s state-owned PureHealth Holding PJSC is set to acquire a 60% stake in the Greek healthcare giant Hellenic Healthcare Group (HHG) in a deal valued at around $2.3 billion. This move signals a major shift in the private healthcare sector in Greece and Cyprus.

CVC Capital Partners, currently holding a 35% stake in HHG, will retain its share. At the same time, the founder of the Greek healthcare provider will maintain the remaining ownership, according to the agreement’s details.

The deal brings together HHG’s impressive portfolio, which includes some of Greece’s most renowned hospitals—Metropolitan, Hygeia, Metropolitan General, and Mitera—alongside key medical facilities in Cyprus, such as Apollonion Private Hospital, Aretaeio, and American Medical Center.

With this acquisition, PureHealth aims to drive growth by attracting more international patients and expanding its operations within Greece and Cyprus. The company has also indicated its interest in further acquisitions in the future.

PureHealth, with a market capitalization of around $11 billion, operates more than 100 hospitals and 300 clinics worldwide, employing over 56,000 staff. Recently, the company expanded its footprint by acquiring Circle Health Group, the UK’s largest private hospital network.

This acquisition aligns with PureHealth’s long-term strategy to generate half of its revenue from outside the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries. It also supports Abu Dhabi’s broader goals of diversifying its economy beyond oil and expanding its global healthcare presence.

HHG, established in 2018, currently operates 1,630 hospital beds across its network, serving over 1.3 million patients annually. With a workforce of more than 5,359 employees, the group also works with 6,662 doctors. In addition to its hospitals, HHG owns diagnostic centers such as HealthSpot and Platon Diagnosis, along with offering home healthcare services and medical equipment trading.

CVC first entered the Greek healthcare sector in 2017 by acquiring a majority stake in Metropolitan Hospital and has since expanded its portfolio with acquisitions of Iaso General Clinic and the Hygeia Group.

SEC Drops Lawsuit Against Gemini: A Major Turning Point In Crypto Regulation

SEC Dismisses Legal Action Against Gemini

The Securities and Exchange Commission has formally withdrawn its lawsuit against Gemini, the prominent crypto exchange founded by twins Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss. The move follows a joint court filing in which both the regulator and Gemini sought dismissal of the case that centered on the collapse of the Gemini Earn investment product, a debacle that left investors without access to their funds for 18 months.

Settlement And Regulatory Reassessment

In a significant development, a 2024 settlement between New York and Gemini ensured that investors recovered one hundred percent of their crypto assets loaned through the Gemini Earn program. The legal reprieve comes on the heels of actions initiated by New York Attorney General Letitia James, who accused Gemini of defrauding investors.

Political Backdrop And Industry Implications

This dismissal reinforces a broader trend of regulatory leniency toward the crypto sector noted during the Trump administration, which saw the SEC dismiss, pause, or reduce penalties in more than 60 percent of its pending crypto lawsuits. Meanwhile, Gemini’s recent public offering filing underscores its ambitions to solidify its status as a major player in the evolving digital asset market.
