AEVIS VICTORIA SA (AEVS.SW) – Swiss Medical Network strengthens its presence in Ticino with the acquisition of «Centromedico»

Swiss Medical Network, the operating subsidiary of AEVIS VICTORIA SA dedicated to healthcare, is acquiring PDS Medical SA, which operates 10 group practices in the Canton of Ticino under the brand name «Centromedico» and thus provides a significant proportion of primary medical care for the population of Ticino. PDS Medical SA recorded revenues of approximately CHF 42 million in 2023. The parties have agreed not to disclose the purchase price.

With this acquisition, Swiss Medical Network strengthens its position in the canton of Ticino and lays the foundation for a second integrated care region in Switzerland under the name «Rete Sant'Anna». Based on the model of the Réseau de l'Arc in the Bernese Jura, where Switzerland's first fully integrated care organization has been operating since 1 January 2024, the VIVA health plan will also be available in Ticino from 1 January 2025. This concept focuses on preventive and comprehensive healthcare for members, as well as close cooperation between outpatient, inpatient and home care services.
