History
Euromedic entered the Polish healthcare market in the year 2000, in response to a change in the Polish healthcare system that introduced the possibility for Public Private Partnerships.
The National Health Fund (Narodowy Fundusz Zdrowia) is the institution responsible for assuring healthcare services in Poland. The Fund finances healthcare services within the general health insurance system by concluding contracts with public as well as non-public healthcare providers. This makes it possible for Euromedic, with its proven model of a private healthcare provider which is fully integrated into the public healthcare system.

Starting activity in Poland was also in response to problems inherent in the Polish healthcare system. Lack of funds made investments in equipment and infrastructure impossible for many hospitals. The existing equipment aged with no prospect of replacement. At the same time, there was increasing demand for medical services.
In 2000, Euromedic started its activity in Poland in two main medical fields: Diagnostics and Dialysis.
Currently, Euromedic is the largest private operator and it has the largest network of dialysis and diagnostic centers in Poland. Within the following years, Euromedic has launched 18 International Medical Centers and 19 International Dialysis Centers in the Polish market.

Perspective for the future
Most of the diagnostic and haemodialysis equipment in Poland is still aging and in need of replacement. The financial difficulties of the Polish Ministry of Health and many local governments provide good scope for growth and development of private medical service providers.
