Presentation and evolution

November 30, 1995

Unirea Medical Center, a new name on the private medical services' market! At the beginning, there was a cardiology surgeon in an apartment located in the Piata Unirii (Unirii Square).
In 1996 we introduced the concept of medical subscriptions.

Today, such subscriptions include from occupational medicine, family medicine, basic medicine, pre-hospital services and ambulatory treatment to emergency and hospitalization systems.

Closer to UMC customers

In 1999 we officially established the first UMC center with multiple specialties – UMC Unirea, and in 2001 two new clinics - UMC Enescu and UMC Opera Center. 2001 was also the year we developed the project UMC Net, the national network of our partners, exceeding today the number of 110 clinics.

2004 is noted by opening the Women Clinic, UMC Arcul de Triumf, a new medical care concept on the Romanian market. From the age of fertility to menopause, each woman benefits of assistance, preventive consultancy, monitoring, treatment and even surgeries within the new clinic.

In 2005, three new policlinics: UMC Charles de Gaulle, UMC Bucharest Business Park and UMC Iride. Moreover, in 2005 both our personal Surgery Clinic and collaboration with the private - public area as regards the Maternity UMC Elias are established.

New investments

In 2006 UMC starts a process to attract investments, finalized in February 2007, when, by the transaction with 3i plc, the largest investment in the private medical system in Romania's results. The investment titan 3i Plc takes over a minor participation in UMC.

In Constanta, the take over was followed by the construction of a new Diagnosis and Treatment Center together with Avamedica.
