Private medical service company MedLife has begun an investment in its first private hospital, Memorial Hospital, a project that will generate annual revenues worth about 8 million euros, the company officials say.
Memorial Hospital will have a 223-bed capacity and six operating rooms, with the total surface reaching about 10,000 square metres. MedLife has not revealed how big the investment in this project will be, which is, however, estimated to exceed 10 million euros.
“This private hospital that will open soon is but one of the first steps of the expansion project we intend to pursue in Romania. After completing investments in Bucharest, MedLife is also planning to open state-of-the-art centres in Bulgaria and Serbia,” Mihai Marcu, MedLife”s chief executive stated.
Memorial Hospital, located in Bucharest”s Sector 1, is slated to open next March.
“The new hospital will provide medical assistance to the patients that have private medical insurance,” the company”s officials said. MedLife has started talks with some of the insurers on the domestic market in view of concluding contracts for health insurance packages, yet its representatives did not name any names.
Memorial Hospital will enter the market of general and plastic surgery services, ophthalmology, dermatology, otorhinolaryngology, gynaecology and maternal services, paediatrics and neonatology, oncology, as well as labour medicine. The hospital will also have a weight loss and maintenance centre. The costs of the medical investigations will be fully covered by the insurance, except for those related to plastic surgery, MedLife officials say.
