DIF has announced that it has closed the acquisition of a 100% interest in a concession to construct, maintain and operate the non-medical services of Infanta Leonor Hospital, located in the Vallecas district, southeast of Madrid.

It operates under an availability-based payment scheme granted by the Community of Madrid. It started operations in 2007 and the concession will run until 2035.

In this acquisition, DIF was advised by PwC (Financial), Jacobs (Technical), Garrigues (Tax) and Herbert Smith Freehills (Legal).
