Regulatory News:
Excellence Imagerie, a leading French independent medical
imaging group, today welcomes Antin Infrastructure Partners
(Paris:ANTIN) as a key long-term partner alongside the Group’s
radiologists and its current shareholder, UI Investissement. Antin
is committed to further supporting Excellence Imagerie’s unique
positioning, which focuses on the quality and accessibility of care
by relying on expert radiologists, a highly rated team and
state-of-the-art medical imaging equipment.
The radiologist partners, notably represented by Excellence
Imagerie co-founders Alain Dana and Patrick Toubiana, will continue
to play a key role in defining the Group’s strategy and
operations.
Excellence Imagerie now has four main centres, making it one of
the largest medical imaging networks in France. With 160 employees
and 60 radiologists, it carries out 400,000 consultations a year.
Antin's support will allow the company to implement its development
and investment plan by extending its footprint through partnerships
with radiologists across the country. Excellence Imagerie will also
welcome two new leading groups into its network: GIMA, based in
Angers, and Imagerie Duroc, based in Paris.
Excellence Imagerie recently became a purpose-driven company,
further anchoring its values of medical excellence and access to
care. This approach enables all employees to be involved in the
project and aims to promote practitioner and care staff expertise
in offering patients a high-quality diagnosis. The Group has also
developed its own certified quality label and is engaged in
innovation in the healthcare sector, notably through advanced
partnerships in the fields of AI and data management, as well as
through the expertise cultivated within its research network
dedicated to public health issues.
Commenting on the transaction, Excellence Imagerie co-founders
Alain Dana and Patrick Toubiana said: “Excellence
Imagerie was created to support an ambitious, long-term medical
project. Antin's experience in the healthcare sector, its long-term
vision and its belief in the essential role of medical imaging in
care pathways make it an ideal partner in federating additional
groups of radiologists throughout France to offer patients a
high-quality, local healthcare service. We are delighted to welcome
Dominique Najmark, as well as Dr Dana Darabi and Dr Jean-Yves Seror
and their teams, to strengthen our project and our ambition.”
Antin Senior Partner Mehdi Azizi stated: “We are
delighted to be joining forces with Excellence Imagerie's talented
and renowned team to write the next chapter in the Group's
development. Thanks to its medical project, based on the
specialization of practitioners, state-of-the-art equipment and
innovation, Excellence Imagerie has rapidly established itself as a
major player in radiology in France. We will leverage our expertise
in both social infrastructure and in growing companies to support
Excellence Imagerie in order to address the increasing need for
medical imaging throughout the country.”
Olivier Jarrousse, Managing Partner of UI Investissement,
said: “Excellence Imagerie was born out of the desire of
radiologists to join forces to enhance the quality of medical
service. The UI Investissement team has been involved in this
project from day one, taking an active and exciting approach that
has enabled us to build a first-rate Group by combining and
creating centres in Paris, and now by acquiring the centres in
Angers and Duroc. Joining forces with Antin will give the Group
complementary capabilities that will enable it to fulfil the strong
ambitions of its founders.”
These transactions are subject to customary regulatory
approvals, including by the relevant French Departmental Medical
