The Group also devoted a lot of effort to making its medical services more efficient. Notably, together with leading international experts, we conducted a comprehensive evaluation of all of our services, prepared a detailed development plan, and integrated our in-patient, outpatient and respite care segments in line with international best practices.

This comprehensive approach allowed us to continue phasing in our "patient-oriented" model of medical care and transforming Medsi into a provider of the full range of medical services, from clinics to hospitals and sanatoria."
