The Competition Commission has backed down on its initial recommendation of divestiture for Netcare, Life Healthcare and Mediclinic

The Competition Commission’s health market inquiry has backed down on its recommendation that SA’s biggest private hospital groups sell off some of their assets to enhance competition in the sector.

In its interim report, published last July, it found competition in the private hospital market had largely failed, partly because it was such a highly concentrated market, dominated by the three JSE-listed groups.
