Turkish Medical Group Medicana Opens Representative Office in Romania

After 15 years dedicated to advancing one of the most reputable Turkish hospital brands in Romania, Ana Herkmen begins a new professional chapter as head of Medicana Health Group’s Romanian office. Medicana is among Turkey’s most prominent healthcare groups, with 19 multidisciplinary hospitals across Turkey and Europe and ambitious plans for the Romanian market.   Renowned for her credibility, international collaborations, and deep knowledge of Romania’s healthcare landscape, Ana has played a pivotal role in bridging Romanian patients with Turkey’s top-tier medical expertise. Over the years, she has cultivated enduring partnerships with patients, physicians, institutions, and health advocates nationwide.   “This is more than a career move—it’s a personal mission. I am joining a project that reflects my values and embraces a long-term vision. The group’s intention to establish its own hospital in Romania in the future was a decisive factor for me. I strongly believe in creating a sustainable presence and building a medical bridge founded on excellence and genuine care for patients,” said Ana Herkmen.   Medicana Health Group is a trusted name in Turkey, known for internationally accredited facilities and high standards of innovative care. Each year, the group treats more than 5 million patients worldwide, including approximately 500,000 international patients from Europe, the Middle East, and Central Asia.   Within its network, Medicana hosts renowned centers of expertise in oncology, organ and stem cell transplantation, cardiology and cardiovascular surgery, neurosciences, orthopedics and traumatology, reproductive medicine, and robotic surgery—demonstrating both cutting-edge infrastructure and exceptional medical expertise. The Bone Marrow Transplant Center at Medicana International Ankara ranks first in Turkey and among the top three in Europe, having successfully performed approximately 1,500 transplants. Meanwhile, the CyberKnife Radiosurgery Center in Ankara holds the world’s top position, with more than 10,000 procedures completed at sub-millimeter precision.   In Romania, Medicana’s long-term objective includes the possibility of opening a hospital in Bucharest. Until then, Romanian patients will be supported through Medicana’s Turkish facilities, benefiting from patient navigation services, expedited appointments, and tailored treatment packages.   With Ana Herkmen leading the Romanian operations, Medicana plans to gradually expand its footprint, provide personalized support for patients traveling abroad, and build the foundation for its future medical center in Bucharest. Upcoming initiatives will include public health programs, educational activities, and strategic partnerships. The Medicana Representative Office is located in Bucharest, at 63 Aviatorilor Boulevard, 3rd floor, apt. 7, Sector 1. At this location, patients can receive detailed information about treatment options, appointment availability, medical costs and packages, as well as dedicated assistance for planning their travel and hospital admission within the Medicana network.   To support access to high-quality medical services, Medicana is actively building strong partnerships with the Romanian medical community — from academic collaborations to joint initiatives with universities, professional associations, and healthcare institutions, as well as individual partnerships with physicians. These initiatives aim to facilitate knowledge exchange, support training programs, and develop clinical and research projects with direct impact on patient care.
