Release of an ad hoc announcement pursuant to Art. 53 KR
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Genolier Swiss Medical Network (GSMN) today announces the execution of the
integration of 100% of Schmerzklinik Basel AG in Basel (canton
Basel-Stadt). GSMN thus integrates its first pain clinic, offering
multidisciplinary pain treatment. The consolidation of the results of
Schmerzklinik Basel will be retroactive at 1 January 2014. GSMN is pleased
to pursue the collaboration with the former owners, Dr Guido Gallacchi and
Dr Ian J. Whitehouse, who will remain active as physicians.
With the integration into GSMN, Schmerzklinik Basel will benefit from the
advantages of a national network, today present in 10 cantons. Synergies
will be realised with all the clinics of the Group, as Schmerzklinik will
form a new competence centre for the treatment of pain, benefitting to all
the patients of the group. Other synergies will be achieved in areas such
as medical partnerships, purchasing, negotiations with insurance companies
and relations with authorities.
The integration of Schmerzklinik Basel fits perfectly in GSMN's strategy.
With 14 clinics, GSMN increases its national presence and reinforces its
footprint in German speaking Switzerland.
