HONG KONG/SINGAPORE (Reuters) – Private equity giant KKR is working on a A$20 billion ($14.7 billion) bid for Australian-listed global hospital and clinic group Ramsay Health Care, two sources familiar with the matter told Reuters on Tuesday.

KKR declined to comment while Ramsay Health Care did not immediately respond to a request for comment outside normal Australian office hours.

The Financial Review first reported news of KKR’s planned bid for Ramsay Health Care.
