Gral Medical, held by Romanian entrepreneur Robert Serban, is currently conducting EUR6 million investments in an oncology hospital in Arges County, OncoFort Pitesti, which will provide cancer diagnostic and treatment services, and in a thyroid cancer treatment center in Bucharest.
Oncology services have become an increasingly interesting niche to private operators, considering the number of cancer patients in Romania stands at 126,000.
“All service categories saw double-digit growth, however, Gral labs and the OncoFort hospital’s growth was higher than initially estimated, 27% and 30% year-on-year,” said Robert Chitan, promotion and development manager with Gral Medical.(EUR1=RON4.6445)
