Founded in 1976 by Mr. Jaime Cervantes Hernandez, Grupo Vitalmex is a private company pioneer of the integrated healthcare services to Mexicos public health system. The Company is focused on the delivery of equipment for mechanical peritoneal dialysis, consumables for cardiac surgery and nephrology, operating room services, specialized transplants, imaging solutions, minimally invasive surgical procedures and electro surgery. In 1976, Vitalmex began operations as an equipment supplier for hemodialysis and heart surgery procedures. In 1981, the Company started manufacturing and selling medical devices. In 2001, Vitalmex evolved its business model to the provision of integrated solutions to the public health systems, which means that Vitalmex supplies all the medical equipment, technical assistance including maintenance of equipment, and the materials needed to provide clinical service to patients of public hospitals. Depending on the projects scope, Vitalmex`s solutions may include any combination of the following: refurbishing, equipping, equipment maintenance, provision of consumables and medicines. The purpose of the project is to finance the expansion of Vitalmex`s integrated solutions to the public health systems, including all the required investments in equipment and materials to provide medical attention to patients of public hospitals. As such, the project has exceptionally high development impact and a strong strategic fit for IFC. The success of the Project will have a positive demonstration effect on the financial feasibility of private players that engage in the public healthcare sector and will prove that PPPs in the health sector are sustainable and efficient, fostering further public-private collaborations in the health sector in Mexico. With this project, the Company will prove that higher quality services can be provided at lower costs and higher productivity, increasing the social impact.
