The move is part of MedLife’s expansion plan countrywide, with focus on towns with average population density.

The new hyperclinic covers 1,100 square meters, on three levels, and the medical team includes more than 60 physicians, medical assistants and support staff.

MedLife has 20 hyperclinics in capital Bucharest and the cities of Arad, Timisoara, Galati, Iasi, Constanta, Craiova, Brasov, Cluj, Ploiesti and Braila.

On the segment of acquisitions, the company carried out its first acquisition in 2011 by purchasing the majority shareholder in the group of firms PDR Brasov. Throughout the time, the company has successfully completed 20 acquisitions, its latest acquisition being the online medical platform sfatulmedicului.ro.
