Klinika Damiana expands, plans up to 15 more franchises outside Warsaw

"Besides our two own medical centers located in Warsaw, we have also opened another one based on the franchise system. It operates under our brand name and the one of the investor. We provide a label and necessary certificates and accreditations, while the investor provides the funds - some zł.4 million," said Płoszczyński. Soon the firm will open two more centers operating according to this system, but the company is also looking for partners willing to open 15 more. Klinika Damiana chose this way of expanding its operations in order to obtain funds for developing its Warsaw outlet, which would require some zł.20-60 million. Depending on the size of the investment, it will add an additional 100-200 beds, which is now dependent on signing a contract with the National Health Fund (NFZ). (Puls Biznesu, pp. 1, 10) M.M.
