Cătălin Popa, 39, head of the first private hospital in Romania
– Euroclinic – has left the helm of the company after five years,
being appointed National Director of World Vision Romania, an NGO
involved in healthcare projects. His move was somewhat to be
expected, considering that last year medical services operator
Centrul Medical Unirea, held by Advent investment fund, bought
Euroclinic, a business that posted around 10 million euros in 2010.
Together, the two companies have over 30 million euros in turnover
on a private medical services market worth 400 million euros per
year. Popa remains a member of the board of directors of
Euroclinic.
Contacted by ZF, he did not wish to provide details on his new
position, but the information is also available on his updated
profile on business social networking website LinkedIn.
Popa left Romania for the USA in 1987, where he remained until
2005. For five years he worked in Mayo Clinic, an Arizona hospital
with 3,000 employees and 200 doctors.
The biggest private clinics on the Romanian market include Medlife,
Euromedic, Polisano, Gral Medical and Sanador.
