G-Square Capital has acquired Diagnostic Healthcare, a medical imaging company.
G-Square is investing from its third-generation fund, which closed on €500m in January 2020 and was 15% deployed at the time. The fund invests €30-60m in European companies in the healthcare sector. Other assets in the fund include UK-based Dental Care Group, and healthcare providers Medadom and Medicharme, each based in France.
