The new hospital, located in Craiova, spans an area of 3400 square meters and brings a significant contribution to the healthcare services offer in Oltenia.
Equipped with latest generation technology, high-performance imaging and medical analysis laboratories, and a digital operating block, MedLife Craiova Hospital will offer patients from the entire Oltenia region access to precise diagnosis and innovative treatments.
“The opening of MedLife Craiova Hospital supports our commitment to providing integrated and high quality medical services closer to our patients. This ambitious and innovative project is not only an investment in health but also a promise of medical excellence for the entire Oltenia region. We aim to provide patients with rapid access to complex investigations and treatments, supported by a top-tier medical team and the latest technologies. Moreover, we currently operate the only private hospital network with a nationwide coverage and we are committed to remaining pioneers in the development of private medicine in Romania”, said Mihai Marcu, President and CEO of MedLife.
The investment in the MedLife Craiova Hospital is carried out in two stages, each with a distinct role in the development of the unit. The first stage focuses on the arrangement of the specialized outpatient clinic and the day hospitalization unit, offering patients access to diagnostic and treatment services in a modern environment. The second stage, to be completed at the beginning of 2025, will bring expanded facilities, including continuous hospitalization, the operating block, and the intensive care unit, consolidating the hospital’s position as a reference medical center for the entire region.
The new MedLife Craiova Hospital offers patients 87 beds, including 35 for continuous hospitalization, 7 for ICU, and 45 for day hospital. The operating block, which will be fully operational from March 2025, will include two operating rooms, one of which will integrate the collaboratOR digital system, an advanced technology that optimizes surgical interventions and allows real-time connection with virtual
participants. The emergency room will become operational in April 2025, thus completing the range of services offered to patients from the entire region.
The medical team, consisting of over 50 specialists, covers a wide range of specializations – oncology, hematology, surgery, cardiology, internal medicine, orthopedics, and gastroenterology – to provide patients with access to complex and personalized treatments. “In 2025, we plan to inaugurate a center of excellence in spinal surgery within the hospital and, of course, to develop oncological surgery. Multidisciplinary teams that serve complex cases, especially in the field of oncology, ensuring an integrated approach to diagnosis and treatment, are an absolute priority for us”, said Dr. Alida Gogescu, manager of MedLife Craiova Hospital.
The new unit is designed to serve approximately 400 patients daily in the outpatient clinic, with 20 specialties available. It is an important step for the private medical system in Oltenia, offering both patients and doctors an excellence platform for medical care, innovative interventions, and treatments, all close to home.
MedLife Craiova Hospital joins the network of 15 hospitals, 200 clinics and hyperclinics, and 34 laboratories, strengthening MedLife’s position as the market leader in private medical services in Romania. Currently, MedLife owns the largest diagnostic and treatment platform in the country.
