The company initially planned a EUR30 million greenfield investment, but reconsidered the project and will build its first private hospital using the premises of a diagnosis center.
The investment will be financed with its own revenue resources. The hospital will have 55 beds for starters and will be extended to 100 beds, Gral representative Robert Chitan told Mediafax.
Gral will also open a medical test center in Ramnicu Valcea this year.
Gral Medical has recently bought Sibiu-based policlinic Sanostar for EUR8,200 from Genzen and Sorin Ovidiu Rotariu.
According to Chitan, the company plans no new acquisitions for the time being and will focus on developing new projects.
Gral Medical is owned by Georgeta and Robert Serban. Its network includes nine clinics, 11 labs, two medical imaging centers and two dental radiology centers.
Gral Medical is part of group Gral, alongside Medical Center Gral. In 2012, the two companies registered revenues of 75 million lei (some EUR17 million), up 17% on the year.
