Healthcare services to middle-low income population

 

This compartment helps filling the gap in the access to healthcare services among the vulnerable population in Mexico. Suburban inhabitants of large cities and communities in remote landscape areas are suffering a lack of healthcare services at affordable price.

The portfolio is operated by Gratia (local partner in Mexico) and it is made up of clinics healthcare centers and doctor’s offices which are a true alternative to the poor public healthcare system. At June 2020, Garantia already managed for its own account a USD 10 million portfolio of leased equipment to SMEs, out of them USD 5.7 millions are in the medical sector.
