London, UK – 25 November 2024: Global Healthcare Opportunities, or GHO Capital Partners LLP (“GHO”), the European specialist investor in global healthcare, marks a decade of transformative impact in the healthcare investment landscape.

A decade later, together with the managing partners and fellow founders Alan MacKay, Mike Mortimer, and Andrea Ponti GHO is celebrating 10 years of better, faster and more accessible healthcare. Mireille and Dennis were the cornerstone investors.
