Executive Summary
Gambro Healthcare has moved into the Lithuanian renal care market with the acquisition of 11 clinics, serving around 300 patients, for an undisclosed sum. According to the Swedish group, the Lithuanian dialysis services market consist of approximately 1,200 patients, of which half are treated privately and the remainder in public hospitals. While the purchase is expected to have a modest impact Gambro's bottom line, a presence in Lithuania should act as a springboard into the wider and emerging Baltic states market, says the company.
