The centers would serve 180,000 subscribers and will be the engine of business growth, which was up in 30% in 2014.
“The company posted revenue of 25 million lei in 2014 and an EBITDA of 17%. In 2015, the company aims to strengthen the family practice segment. Our objective is to exceed 50,000 patients (e.n. in 2015),“ Cristian Sas, general manager with Anima told ZF. Currently, Anima holds 30 family practice centers with 40,000 subscribers.
Anima entered the private healthcare market in full crisis, initially as a unit of A&D Pharma, Romania’s largest medical drugs group, from which it subsequently split. In 2013, it ranked 30th among the biggest healthcare providers in Romania, with revenue worth RON19.2 million.
The company focuses on family medicine and its majority stakeholder is Ludovic Robert, one of the businesspeople who set up A&D Pharma.
Romanian private medical services market totals EUR600 million of the over EUR5.5 billion private and state cumulated medical services.
