EUC buys 19 rehabilitation clinics from investment fund Potysz health

On 9 September 2026 the Czech competition authority ÚOHS announced it had cleared the merger of EUC a.s. and PHF Rehabilitace s.r.o., both active in rehabilitation services; the first-instance decision has already become final. Through its subsidiaries EUC operates a network of 17 polyclinics and clinics in Czechia with a broad range of outpatient services, including rehabilitation and physiotherapy. PHF Rehabilitace provides outpatient rehabilitation, physiotherapy and follow-up care at 19 clinics under the OK Rehabilitace brand in Prague, Brno, Bohumín, Český Těšín, Havířov, Hodonín, Orlová, Ostrava, Rokycany, Ústí nad Labem and Zlín; the company had belonged to the investment fund Potysz health. The authority focused on Prague, Ústí nad Labem, Brno and Zlín, where both companies operate, and concluded that the combined share would not exceed 10% in any of those local markets and that strong competition remains.
