Dubai, UAE, 12 November 2015: TVM Capital Healthcare Partners hosted its third TVM Capital Healthcare Investors conference today in Dubai. Dr Helmut Schuehsler, CEO of TVM Capital Healthcare Partners, commented: “We have enjoyed robust conversation today from distinguished panellists and guests with discussion around the healthcare economy in the region, opportunities within healthcare in emerging markets and the need for stronger corporate governance. We are operating in a region where private equity has outperformed the public markets, however where the scale of emerging market private equity remains relatively small. The common theme was around opportunity - the healthcare sector forms a critical part of a diversified portfolio from international and domestic investors alike.” Dr Schuehsler added: “I believe that these types of forums trigger debate, discussion and proactive collaboration. The stimulating dialogue today was driven by a shared goal to continue to educate, enthuse and cooperate for the benefit of a more advanced healthcare environment in the Middle East and North Africa.” Sponsors of the TVM Capital Healthcare Conference 2015 included Morgan Lewis, PwC and Al Tamim & Co. TVM Capital Healthcare Partners is working with several global institutional investors to deploy capital in healthcare in the region, and has invested in five portfolio companies since 2010, exiting its first investment of a specialty clinic, ProVita International Medical Center, in June this year. The private equity firm has helped to forge international partnerships for the companies, including with U.S. specialists Spaulding Rehabilitation Network and Joslin Diabetes Center.
