AfroCentric acquired a 100% interest in Pharmacy Direct, a courier pharmacy; 100% of Curasana, a pharmaceutical wholesaler; and a 26% stake in Activo Health, a southern African distributor of generic medicines as well as complementary nutraceutical products effective 1 August 2015. These acquisitions should not only improve the Group’s earnings, but will provide greater access to the wider healthcare delivery value chain and greater visibility in the relevant markets.
Sanlam Limited concluded its acquisition of a 28.7% stake in ACT Healthcare
Assets, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Group, subsequent to year-end. This strategic alliance with one of the country’s foremost financial institutions will enhance the Group’s marketing and distribution initiatives and position certain divisions within the Group on an improved growth path.
Growth and diversification outside South Africa has always been a strategic imperative. Medscheme has a presence in Botswana, Namibia, Swaziland, Kenya and Zimbabwe, and through its business process outsourcing centre in Mauritius provides services to several large European and UK-based health insurance companies.
AfroCentric seeks to invest in related businesses that demonstrate prospects for growth, while contributing to the sustainable health and welfare of South African communities.
