The private healthcare operator Medas will re-brand on a EUR 0.45 million budget, the company has announced. It also plans to build a EUR 3 million hospital. 'Our strategy for the next period will target an increase in the number of patients, through investments. The first will be a hospital for the surgery treatment of urogenital diseases, of some EUR 3 million, that will be opened at the beginning of next year,” said Simona Ateia, general manager of Medas. The hospital will cover over 2,000 sqm.
