History
In 1964, Paul Ramsay, founder & Chairman of Ramsay Health Care, purchased a guesthouse called Warrina House on Sydney’s North Shore and converted it into a psychiatric hospital in the earliest days of the private hospital industry in Australia. Warrina House, formerly a guesthouse, became a 16 bed psychiatric facility. For the first 14 years, Ramsay Health Care expanded its psychiatric hospital business, until in 1978 when they diversified into the medical/surgical business and built their first surgical hospitals.

Almost 30 years later, Ramsay Health Care was a market leader in the Australian Health Care market and realised its offshore expansion potential. They acquired Capio UK in 2007, the fourth largest operator of private hospitals in the United Kingdom. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/business/news/australian-health-giant-ramsay-buys-capio-uk-401648.html Ramsay Health Care now operates 36 healthcare facilities in the United Kingdom and has established a strong reputation in this region.
