American health insurance and services company UnitedHealth will purchase a 90-percent stake in Brazil's top private health care provider Amil Participacoes, for about $4.9 billion, the US firm said in a statement Monday.
UnitedHealth, traded on the New York Stock Exchange since September, will take over the network of 22 hospitals and another two under construction, which run health and dental insurance programs for several Brazilian companies.
