Medlife said it has implemented the measures to support front-line colleagues and to ensure medical continuity in emergency, and at the same time to limit the financial impact caused by the restrictions imposed via military ordinances as the country is under state of emergency.
Working hours for key administrative personnel will be reduced from 5 to 4 working days starting March 26.
Medlife said it was negotiating with all landlords of premises in which it operates to delay or lower rent payments for the next period.
It is also in advanced discussions with banks to increase the liquidity available at group level. The group currently has a comfortable liquidity for a period of 3-6 months, adding to the groups’ own avbailable funds, it said.
Medlife added it was also discussing what investments can be made at this time for the post coronavirus period, such as the development of treatment centers for the recovery of lung functions, testing and monitoring of patients with medical conditions incompatible with the SARS-CoV-2 virus (such as cardiovascular diseases, high blood pressure, diabetes, oncological patients).
