Private equity fund MidEuropa has agreed to sell private healthcare chain Regina Maria to Mehiläinen Group, the largest private healthcare provider in Finland backed by investment fund CVC.

As part of the deal terms, Regina Maria will maintain its current brand and management team.

Mehiläinen Group operates in five European countries. The group currently manages over 890 clinics and medical facilities, supported by a network of more than 37,000 healthcare professionals. 

Serving over 2.2 million clients annually, Mehiläinen Group reported a revenue of €2 billion in 2024, an 11.5% increase compared to the previous year.
