Ribera Salud completes acquisition of HCB healthcare group

Ribera Salud has completed the acquisition of the HCB healthcare group following authorization from competition authorities. This transaction represents the largest investment made by Ribera in the private healthcare sector to date.

HCB is a private healthcare group with 40 years of history and a significant presence in the Valencian Community. The group includes two hospitals located in Benidorm and Dénia, three medical centers in Calpe, Moraira, and Albir, and two diagnostic imaging centers in Alicante. Its staff consists of more than 650 professionals.

The acquisition expands Ribera’s healthcare capacity in the Valencian Community, where the group already manages several hospitals, primary care centers, clinics, a dialysis center, and laboratory and technology headquarters. This move is part of a broader growth plan supported by shareholder Vivalto Santé, which includes international expansion into Poland, Slovakia, and the Czech Republic.
