Figures Finland Healthcare Q1 2026

In Q1 2026, the Finnish healthcare investment volume amounted to €196 million, an 11% decline year-on-year against a strong Q1 2025. On a trailing twelve-month basis, healthcare volume reached €1.41 billion, up 160% y-o-y as the sector rebounded from a subdued 2023–2024 to become the largest sector by investment volume in 2025. Social infrastructure accounted for 9% of total investment in Q1 2026. By the end of Q1, the prime elderly care yield stood at 5.50% and the prime childcare yield at 6.00%, both unchanged year-to-date.

Cross-border capital dominated the quarter, accounting for all healthcare volume. In Q1 2026, Belgian-listed Aedifica completed its merger with Cofinimmo following Belgian Competition Authority approval, holding ca. 80% of Cofinimmo shares and creating Europe’s largest listed real estate trust, with significant Finnish social infrastructure exposure. Swedish operator Hemsö led direct deal activity, acquiring the Hollola Health and Social Care Centre from the City of Hollola for €14 million. Hemsö was also selected by the Wellbeing Services County of Southwest Finland (Varha) to develop a new 170-place care home in Turku, with an initial investment of €22 million.
