Central Healthcare Operations Seeks Clearance To Acquire An Ownership Interest In The Crest Hospital In Palmerston North
The Commerce Commission has received a clearance application from Central Healthcare Operations Limited seeking clearance to acquire 100% of the shares in Aorangi Hospital Limited.
At present, Aorangi and Southern Cross Healthcare Limited operate the Crest Hospital in a joint venture. Crest is currently the only private hospital in Palmerston North. The proposed acquisition would give Central Healthcare a 50% shareholding in the Crest Hospital.
