Private investors flock to big cities to build new hospitals

The most attractive to investors seems to be the market in Warsaw, where five new hospitals will be built within the next few years, two of which will be  partly financed by the local government. Other regions are also attracting money. Falck Medycyna, owner of a network of clinics and private ambulance service plans to construct hospitals in cities in the Northern parts of the country. The company is already preparing grounds for the potential investments and is negotiating with local governments concerning their participation in the ventures. Another company in the sector, Swissmed, is planning to build a private, specialized hospital in Warsaw with 100 beds. "We need a good location. We plan to build the hospital, equip it and run the operations," said the president of the publicly listed company, Roman Walasiński.
