Indian hospital group Global Health, which operates hospitals under the Medanta brand, has filed papers to raise funds through a new share issue.

The company intends to raise INR5bn ($67.3m) through the issue, while existing investors in the company will tender another 48.44 million shares through an offer for sale (OFS). 

Carlyle Group

Anant Investments, an affiliate of private equity major Carlyle Group, which holds a 25.7% stake in the company, intends to offload 43.3m shares through the OFS, the company said in its draft red herring prospectus.

Backed by private equity investors such as Carlyle Group and Temasek, Global Health is a private tertiary care provider operating in the north and east regions of India.

The company would use about INR3.75bn of the net proceeds to repay debt and for general business purposes.

1,100 doctors

Medanta was founded by renowned cardiovascular and cardiothoracic surgeon Dr Naresh Trehan, who has been awarded the Padma Bhushan and the Padma Shri, the third and fourth-highest civilian awards in India, in recognition of his contribution to medicine.
