Embattled healthcare operator NMC Health’s debt position is currently estimated at $6.6 billion, significantly higher than the approximately $5 billion reported earlier in March, the company said in a statement posted to the London Stock Exchange.

According to the statement, the debt includes a $360 million convertible bond and $400 million sukuk.

On March 10, NMC estimated that its debts stood at about $5 billion. Since then, the company has verified another $0.3 billion currently outstanding that related to facilities the company’s board was aware of in June 2019, as well as $0.8 billion of newly identified facilities and an additional $0.4 billion of facilities entered into post June 20190 and unidentified earlier in March.
