At that time, Vivalto Santé had three treatment centres with 725 bed spaces for minor surgeries and short-stay hospital treatments, together generating €96m in revenues. Omnes’s finances and expertise have supported an ambitious expansion programme and today Vivalto Santé runs ten clinics across Brittany, Loire, Ile de France and Rhône-Alpes. As a result of the expansion, revenues had increased to €305m by 2014 and bed spaces had more than doubled. The company was acquired by an group of investors led by CDC International Capital in 2016.
