Aureos Capital Backs Costa Rican Healthcare
Facility
Aureos Capital’s Emerge Central America
Growth Fund (EMERGE) has invested in Pacific
Plaza Health and Living (“PPHL), a
state-of-the-art private healthcare complex,
designed to serve the growing middle class
in Costa Rica and attract healthcare
tourists from abroad.
PPHL will include Costa Rica’s second CIMA
hospital.
CIMA Hospitals provide high
quality private healthcare and are operated
by the International Hospital Consortium,
who also run CIMA hospitals in Mexico and
Brazil.
The EMERGE Fund was established by Aureos
Capital Limited, the private equity fund
management company specializing in investing
in small to mid-cap businesses in emerging
markets. The US$21m EMERGE Fund focuses on
companies in Central America and the
Dominican Republic and is one of three
Aureos Latin American private equity
funds[1].
José Ulate, Aureos’ Partner in Costa Rica
says: “Pacific Plaza Health and Living is a
project with great potential. PPHL is
principally intended to satisfy the growing
local demand for high quality medical
services. However, we are confident that
alongside serving local patients, it will
draw in business serving the growing
international health tourism market.”
“The CIMA hospital in San José has already
proven Costa Rica’s ability to deliver top
care and attract international patients.”
