Medicover to expand offering new services based on Rumanian experiences

Over the next twelve months Medicover will open two new centers in Krakow and Katowice, but the company's directors are aware that this is still not enough to reach the planned growth of 25%. They attribute the company's problems to the overall economic slowdown and believe that expansion will top 17%. To attract clients Medicover is offering new services, such as complex medical analysis. "Nova Medical laboratory, bought from the Swedish group Capio, is a novelty service in Poland and is a service which we already offer in Rumania with great success. We expect to achieve similar or even better results in Poland," said Fredrik Ragmark, Medicover's Group Managing Director. Presently, the annual income of the Gdańsk laboratory amounts to zł. 7 million. "We will be disappointed if we do not triple this sum within a few years. In Rumania, where prices are lower, we generate EUR 4 million annually," said Ragmark. (Puls Biznesu, p. 6) K.Z.
