Evidia Group Further Strengthens Commitment to UK Imaging Market
The Evidia Group has reinforced its strategic focus on the UK diagnostic imaging sector. In 2023, the EQT-backed healthcare leader acquired 4ways Healthcare – the UK’s largest fully UK-based provider of teleradiology services.
As part of its expanded UK strategy, Ajay Bh Chadha has been appointed as Joint CEO of both Evidia UK and 4ways Healthcare. His leadership will be central to driving forward the group’s ambition to deliver integrated, high-quality imaging services across the UK.
Over the coming months, Evidia UK will harness best practices from across Europe to both acquire and develop UK imaging providers, as well as establish new greenfield imaging sites. This strategy will enable Evidia UK to offer comprehensive, end-to-end imaging and reporting services to the NHS, private providers, and the self-pay patient market.
Liselott Kilaas, CEO of Evidia Group, commented:
“As Europe’s leading provider of world-class imaging services, we are excited to expand our footprint in the UK. This is a great opportunity to apply our international clinical expertise and fresh thinking to deliver patient-focused imaging solutions tailored to UK needs.”
Ajay Bh Chadha, CEO of Evidia UK and 4ways Healthcare, said:
“After two decades of working closely with the NHS to provide high-quality, UK-based reporting services, I’m excited to now lead the development of end-to-end imaging services. Our aim is to help reduce waiting times and improve clinical outcomes for patients nationwide.”
Alexander Jenner, Chief Strategy Officer of Evidia Group, added:
“Evidia has a proven track record of executing small- and medium-sized acquisitions across the Nordics and Germany, alongside developing state-of-the-art greenfield facilities. We look forward to working with our investor partner EQT to bring this capability to the UK.”
