The Regina Maria health network has been acquired by the Finnish group Mehiläinen, marking the largest transaction in the healthcare sector in Central and Eastern Europe, now under scrutiny by the Competition Council.

The acquisition of the Regina Maria network by Mehiläinen for more than €1 billion represents a significant milestone in Romania's private healthcare sector. Regina Maria has seen impressive revenue growth from RON 415 million in 2015 to over RON 2 billion in 2023. Under the leadership of the MidEuropa investment fund, the company has expanded through acquisitions and regional developments, becoming a leader in the private healthcare market. Mehiläinen, Finland's largest healthcare provider, will support Regina Maria's management in further expansion and service quality improvement.
