The investments in the four clinics amount to EUR3.6 million and MedLife needs to recruit at least 480 people to staff them. The company is currently employing 2,400 people.
“The employees will work here full time,” said Nicolae Marcu, 44, the general manager of MedLife, who, together with Mihai Marcu and Gabriela Cristescu, owns the majority stake in the company.
After a wave of EUR230 million investments in 2011 and 2012, private healthcare operators significantly cut their investment budgets, with no hospitals or large clinics opened this year. No such projects have been announced for 2014, either, except for MedLife’s plans.
