Euromedic expects 30% higher turnover next year

Euromedic private medical services operator expects turnover
to rise by 30% next year from the level of above 80m RON (19m
euros) projected for 2009. “The increase is based not only on the
level at the beginning of the year, but also on investments
operated along the way. Turnover generated in the first 11 months
of this year reached 75.6m RON (18m euros), partly generated by the
new centres opened in 2009,” said Anca Petca, chairman of Euromedic
Romania. The company this year invested over 8m euros in a
diagnosis centre in Focsani and three dialysis centres in Baia
Mare, Botosani and Piatra-Neamt and to acquire new equipment for
some older centres. “In 2010, the company’s business will focus on
the consolidation of existing centres and equipment renewal in some
centres. We are not ruling out, though, the possible opening of
some new centres at yearend,” Petca also said. The company has 500
employees. Euromedic International, which Euromedic Romania is part
of, operates diagnosis and dialysis centres in Europe. Its
shareholder structure includes Ares Life Sciences and Merrill Lynch
GPE investment funds.
