We were asked to examine a private healthcare group running hospitals and clinics with the aim of understanding how reputable it was, how involved the original founders were in decision-making and how the group treated its partners. The subject had grown rapidly, not without teething problems, and sources were critical of how it operated. 

Many senior staff had left and CbI discovered the company had serious cash flow problems and also suffered from a top-down micro-management by its chairman. CbI’s findings – based on solid local sources working in the healthcare sector – helped the client make a decision on whether to engage with the subject company.

Sources for the report included: senior former employees from the body that operates public hospitals and clinics in the emirate; former group COO and CFO of the subject; a senior executive at the government health department and sources in a company that had a collaboration with the subject.
