UGGC Avocats assists Hôpital Foch in partnership with Institut Curie in the takeover of Institut Mutualiste Montsouris

The takeover bid submitted by Hôpital Foch in partnership with Institut Curie was accepted by the Paris Business Court in a ruling dated October 14, 2025. It enables all the hospital’s staff and activities to be preserved.

The Institut Mutualiste Montsouris (IMM), one of France’s leading Établissement de Santé Privé d’Intérêt Collectif (ESPIC), located in the 14th arrondissement, is a 485-bed hospital employing over 1,626 staff and 270 doctors. It operates some 55,000 hospital stays, 250,000 consultations and over 2,000 births a year.

The Hôpital Foch’s takeover of the Institut Curie is therefore in line with a logic of alliance in the face of the weakening of independent structures.

With a workforce of 2,300, including almost 300 doctors, 611 beds, 260,000 consultations (excluding maternity and emergency care) and over 60,000 hospital admissions per year, Hôpital Foch is one of the largest hospitals in the Ile-de-France region. Its high-level, multidisciplinary care in virtually all areas of adult medicine and surgery, its strong commitment to teaching, training and research, its state-of-the-art medical-technical facilities and its tradition of welcoming patients make it one of France’s top-performing private not-for-profit hospitals.

The Institut Curie, France’s leading cancer center, combines an internationally renowned research center with a state-of-the-art hospital complex that treats all cancers, including the rarest. Founded in 1909 by Marie Curie, the Institut Curie has 3 sites (Paris, Saint-Cloud and Orsay) and employs almost 4,000 researchers, doctors and nurses in its 3 missions: care, research and teaching.
