Private clinics recruit over 5,000 people

The leading private clinics on the Romanian market will hire over 500 staff this year after completion of scheduled investments, a ZF analysis reveals.

The medical services market, one of the most dynamic at present, will attract over 100 million euros in investments in the coming period, which will go both to hospitals and to private clinics.

A quick review of the projects announced so far reveals that most of the investments are in the range of tens of millions of euros, high amounts for this sector, considering that the investment in one clinic can be 1-2 million euros, reflecting on the one hand attractiveness to investors, and on the other hand personnel needs in these new facilities.

The Medicover network, one of the leading players in the sector, could build a hospital with 88 beds in Pipera, following a 40 million-euro investment, and Centrul Medical Unirea (Unirea Medical Centre) announced it had 30 million euros for investments over the next few years, with 12 million euros going to a hospital.

Medicana Hospital, one of the biggest private hospital networks in Turkey, will enter the Romanian market via a 30 million-euro project to build a hospital in Bucharest, which could start at the end of September, according to Mediafax news agency.
