EFI Group, which already owns the “Medychna Zirka” network, has officially completed the agreement to purchase 100% of the “My Doctor” network. Both networks will be under the management of the holding and develop the system of primary medical care throughout the country.
Financial details of the deal were not disclosed. All investments are aimed at unifying the two networks and expanding the geography of the presence of qualified medical care.
Thus, 19 more clinics with a total of 255 employees joined the “Medical Star” network.
“I believe that Ukraine’s victory is multi-layered. We must win not only on the battlefield but also to save the country’s economy. That is why it is now very important to invest in the development of projects that will change the country’s healthcare system for the better. Because of the war, thousands of temporarily displaced people lost the opportunity to receive qualified medical care from the doctors with whom they signed the declarations. But we decided to invest and give people both access to medicine and work. After all, now is a special time to take responsibility for the country’s future,” shared Igor Lisky, chairman of the supervisory board of EFI Group.
Medical centers of both networks specialize in providing primary medical care. Every Ukrainian can sign a declaration with a family doctor, pediatrician, or therapist and receive medical assistance free of charge and without restrictions. “Medychna Zirka” provides free assistance in any branch of the network, regardless of the place of filing the declaration. In addition, you can get a doctor’s consultation online even from abroad.
“Despite all the difficulties, we consciously invest in the development of medicine in the country, because thousands of our patients should receive quality service, and doctors from all over the country should receive jobs. The support of the National Service of Ukraine contributes to the effective development of the country’s medical industry. An open and timely dialogue regarding the number of declarations due to the transfer of patients from the eastern and southern regions to the western and northern regions is an important step. We believe in Ukrainian medicine and plan to open more than 100 clinics in every corner of independent Ukraine,” said Kateryna Vaidych, CEO of the Medical Star network.
From the first day of the war, the network clinics in the regions with hostilities continued their work with offline and online consultations – during the first month of the war, we helped about 5,000 people. The Medical Star network opened two new branches in Vinnytsia and Lviv in recent months. The company continues its active development by providing jobs for immigrant doctors, as well as free medical care for IDPs. In particular, it cooperates with relief funds and charitable organizations: “Yamariupol”, “Vostok SOS”, Korean organizations “Green Doctors”, “On Hospital” and Italian BOs.
