Halyard Health, a global supplier of medical devices and solutions, is selling its Indian subsidiary’s Surgical and Infection Prevention (S&IP) business division to Owens & Minor for ₹45 billion (US$710 million).
The transaction confirms investor appetite and growing opportunities in India’s healthcare sector. “With a population that is soon going to exceed China’s, India’s healthcare needs are burgeoning,” said Akil Hirani, the managing partner at Majmudar & Partners, who led a team advising Halyard on Indian law matters. “Hospital chains, diagnostic clinics, life sciences companies doing drug discovery, and medical devices firms are seeing a huge potential and are being aggressively pursued by strategic and financial investors.”
S&IP provides healthcare supplies and solutions that target the prevention of healthcare-associated infections. Its portfolio of surgical and infection prevention offerings includes sterilization wraps, surgical drapes and gowns, facial protection, protective apparel and medical exam gloves.
