The acquisition involving Mediclinic Windhoek and Treeside Medical Suites has been approved by the Namibian Competition Commission (NaCC) with conditions attached to protect workers from potential job losses linked to the transaction.
The transaction involves Mediclinic Windhoek, Mediclinic (Windhoek) Properties and Treeside Medical Suites CC and related assets.
However, regulators identified public-interest issues related to employment and moved to introduce safeguards.
“The commission did not find significant competition concerns,” says the NaCC.
The commission has imposed a three-year moratorium on merger-related retrenchments and required existing employment conditions to be maintained.
“The conditions ensure that the transaction proceeds without undermining employment stability in the healthcare sector,” says NaCC.
The approval also includes reporting requirements aimed at ensuring compliance with the conditions.
