Frequently asked questions
Who owns Sanitas Health Insurance?
Sanitas is part of the Bupa Group, a British mutual healthcare organization. Bupa acquired Sanitas's Spanish operations in 1989 and has built the brand into its primary vehicle for continental Europe and Latin America. Separately, the Sanitas brand in the Americas is owned by Keralty, a Colombia-based healthcare group founded by Joseba Grajales, following an earlier corporate split. (per public record)
How is Sanitas structured as an investor?
Sanitas combines regulated health insurance underwriting with direct ownership of hospitals and medical centers. Its physical portfolio includes facilities in Madrid and Barcelona, a US-based hospital in Miami, and medical centers operated through a partnership with Florida Blue. The firm also holds a sustainable-infrastructure investment portfolio in Switzerland and Europe. (per the firm's official communications)
Where does Sanitas operate outside Switzerland?
The firm maintains a significant operating presence in Spain through owned hospitals in Madrid and Barcelona, and in the United States via Westchester General Hospital in Miami and Sanitas Medical Centers run in partnership with Florida Blue. The Bupa-affiliated Sanitas brand and the separately owned Keralty-branded Sanitas operations together span multiple Latin American countries, though the Swiss entity's direct reach in the region is limited. (per public record)
What is the relationship between Sanitas and Florida Blue?
Sanitas and Florida Blue (the Florida Blue Cross Blue Shield plan) are strategic partners in the operation of Sanitas Medical Centers in the United States. The joint venture applies Sanitas's integrated payer-provider model to the US market, with Florida Blue providing the insurance infrastructure and Sanitas contributing healthcare delivery expertise. (per public record)
Does Sanitas manage philanthropic or foundation assets?
Yes. Sanitas maintains at least two foundation structures: Fundación Sanitas in Spain and Stiftung Sanitas Krankenversicherung in Zurich. A separate Sanitas Foundation Art Support initiative also operates from Zurich. These are structurally separate from the commercial insurance and hospital-operating businesses. (per public record)
