MedLife announces the completion of the acquisition of Routine Med from Tulcea. As a result, the group is expanding its national footprint in the southeast, where it is already present with collection points, a laboratory in Constanta, as well as three hyperclinics in Constanta, Galati and Braila, being the operator with the largest ecosystem of integrated diagnostic and treatment services in Romania. The Routine Med Group includes a hospital unit equipped with an operating room, a day and continuous hospitalization compartment, along with a generous outpatient area. Thus, patients in Dobrogea have access to over 20 medical and surgical specialties, including dentistry and medical optics. Hospital and outpatient services are complemented by laboratory and medical imaging services. According to company representatives, Routine Med’s turnover in 2023 exceeded 15 million lei. “Currently, if a patient in Romania wants to use MedLife services, they can reach a network unit within an hour’s drive. We pride ourselves on being so close to those who need help and that we are the only private medical operator present with large hospitals or clinics in all cities with over 100,000 inhabitants. This does not mean that we neglect those in smaller towns, on the contrary, which is also attested by the acquisition of this group from Tulcea. Thanks to it, patients in southeastern Romania will benefit from over 20 medical and surgical specialties, including medical optics and dentistry,” said Mihai Marcu, President and CEO of MedLife Grup. “We are pleased that Routine Med has evolved from modest beginnings – a laboratory founded in Sulina – to a group with a turnover of over three million euros. We know MedLife’s history, we know that it has the largest acquisition portfolio on the Romanian medical market, and we view the partnership with this group as a new and promising stage in the development of our business,” said Mihai Pavel, founder of the Routine Med group in Tulcea.
