Medical service company Medicover has decided to split its operations into two separate divisions, which should allow for improved business management and for applying different development strategies. The lab network will keep being run by the current Medicover Rombel, while a newly established company, Medicover SRL will handle the subscription-based medical services. Medicover, a Swedish-held company listed on the Stockholm Bourse, is the largest medical service company in the Central and Eastern Europe and the decision to create a separate division for lab services is an international one. The new division of the company will include the lab network in Romania (Medicover Rombel) and the one in Poland (Nova-Medical Polska), acquired this June, and will be co-ordinated from Bucharest. ZF
