December 09, 2019 - Healthcare venture capital investments continue to drive mergers and acquisitions (M&A) in the industry despite a shortage of common ground between CEOs and investors, a new survey finds.  

The US healthcare market saw a 14.4 percent increase in mergers and acquisition activity from 2017 to 2018, data from PricewaterhouseCoopers revealed. In total, there were 1,182 M&A deals in 2018, and M&A activity has remained firm in 2019, with deal volume exceeding 250 deals in the first three quarters.
