UNIGLOVES Nigeria will have a 51% stake in the JVCo while Health Focus and a private unnamed individual investor will have a stake of 34% and 15% respectively.
The incorporation of the JVCo presents an opportunity for UG Healthcare to expand its business into a non-gloves healthcare related sector in Nigeria through a well-established partner like Health Focus.
The diagnostic centre will be set up in a ready-built and ready-to-use property that UNIGLOVES Nigeria owns in Enugu, Nigeria.
The investment in the JV will be funded through internal resources.
