AUGUST 07 2023

Prospitalia Group has appointed Dr. Benjamin I. Behar as new CEO and will operate under the new brand Vivecti Group.

Prospitalia Group, a leading purchasing service company in the German healthcare market, today announced the appointment of Dr. Benjamin I. Behar as new Group CEO. As lever, catalysator and reliable partner, the companies of the group will in future provide their expertise to healthcare providers and other market participants under the new brand Vivecti Group. The new Group brand reflects the evolved and integrated approach to serve clients as a full service partner for all key challenges in hospitals and adjacent fields.

Dr. Benjamin I. Behar brings a particularly deep understanding of the challenges and management of hospitals. Before joining Vivecti Group, he played a significant role in establishing one of the fastest-growing hospital groups, Artemed SE. From the founding stage of Artemed with three hospitals to a nationally operating hospital group with 18 high-performance hospitals, he was responsible for both, the restructuring and integration of the new hospitals, as well as for purchasing and communications. Prior to that, he worked for McKinsey & Company, advising hospital operators such as Vivantes, the University Medical Center Mainz, and the Klinikverbund Südwest.

"Being the catalyst that helps healthcare providers and other market participants operate more effectively is an immensely fulfilling mission for me, as economic efficiency is the fundamental premise for medical quality, ultimately benefiting the patients. Economic efficiency and medical quality are not contradictory but mutually reinforcing. That's why the Vivecti Group provides our partners with a comprehensive and integrated range of services and products, enhancing their performance unlike any other corporate group,” said Dr. Benjamin I. Behar.
