Quirónsalud, the largest private hospital group in Spain and part of Fresenius Helios, has signed agreements to acquire Centro Oncológico de Antioquia (COA) and Clínica Clofán, further expanding the company’s presence in Colombia. The clinics, located in Colombia's second largest city Medellín, will become part of Quirónsalud’s existing healthcare network in the country, which already comprises six hospitals and ten diagnostic centers.
