BUPA Purchases Cromwell Hospital

Tue, 18 Mar 2008

BUPA, the UK’s leading healthcare and insurance company, has acquired the famous Cromwell Hospital in west London .

The hospital was bought for £90m in a deal between BUPA and Belfast-based Ballyrogan Holdings, a private family company owned by the multi-millionaire Jennings brothers.

BUPA said it intends to invest a further £30m in the hospital to create a centre of excellence for private patients over the next two years.

The Kensington-based private hospital is renowned for its investments, pioneering of state-of-the-art medical equipment and cancer services and for its particular expertise in neuroscience and paediatrics .

Around 600 consultants from across London see to the institute’s large national and international clientele, covering more than 70 different specialities.

Outpatient services at the institute include private GPs, health screening and a walk-in family medicine and diagnostic centre.

Fergus Kee, managing director of BUPA Health Insurance, said that private patients constantly request "more high-quality private health services in London" .

"We believe there is tremendous opportunity to introduce modern, innovative ways of delivering healthcare in the capital offering high quality levels of customer service, clinical excellence and more cost effective care," he added.
