Waterland-backed MEDIAN, the largest private operator of rehabilitation clinics in Germany, acquired Klinik Eschenburg, which offers 87 treatment places and a broad range of treatment options for drug and alcohol addiction. Financial terms were not disclosed. Dr Carsten Rahlfs, Managing Partner at Waterland, comments: “The demand for rehabilitation services for the treatment of addiction- and dependency-related conditions continues to grow. As the new leader in this field, MEDIAN will profit from the expertise of the Eschenburg clinic. The facility enjoys an outstanding reputation and is the ideal addition to MEDIAN’s presence in the region. In addition, we are pleased about the expansion of the cardiological offers through the takeover of the Düsseldorf Rhein-Reha centre. The potential of the combined entity will be fully realised after integration at the beginning of next year.”
