The company has inaugurated two clinics in Galati and Iasi so far this year and 2014 plans include two more projects, one in Cluj and one in Constanta. MedLife, a company founded and controlled by the Marcu family, also plans ‘at least’ four more clinics next year.
“Over the last few years, MedLife chose as its core strategy to develop especially medical services targeting private customers due to the unpredictability of the medical system regulations in Romania, consolidating its position on the market and becoming the medical entity that serves most patients in the country,” said Mihai Marcu, chairman of MedLife’s board of directors.
MedLife representatives have voiced dissatisfaction with how the government directs funds to private medical service providers on various occasions.
The group is the largest private medical service operator in Romania by revenue and has 5,000 paying patients every day. It expects EUR80 million revenue this year, compared with EUR72 million last year. Operating income should reach EUR12 million, an increase on last year’s EUR10.5 million.
