The chain of medical clinics InMedica has signed an agreement to purchase the family medical clinic chain UAB Medicinos Paslaugų Centras (MPC) operating in Vilnius. It is the first investment by InMedica this year in a network of private medical clinics providing a wide range of services in the capital of Lithuania.
“MPC is one of the largest and longest-running private networks of family medicine clinics in Vilnius. We appreciate such a professionally managed and efficiently operating clinic network that has been on the market for more than 20 years joining InMedica. We have no doubt that by joining forces it will be possible to continue the activities of MPC in a high-quality manner, ensuring the highest standards of healthcare service provision for an even larger number of patients in the capital,” says the CEO of InMedica, Mr. Kęstutis Broniukaitis.
Currently, the MPC network consists of 4 clinics operating in the Pilaitė, Justiniškės, Fabijoniškės, and Perkūnkiemis micro districts of Vilnius. The clinics provide primary care, dental, mental health, physical therapy, and secondary outpatient services.
InMedica purchased MPC shares from the company’s founders – Asta Vilienė and Vilija Švedienė.
„For many years, ensuring the highest quality standards and continuous improvement have been the most important operational priorities of MPC. We believe that the strong support of InMedica will significantly contribute to even more efficient processes of the center’s operations and the continuous improvement of the quality of services provided to patients. At the same time, it will be an important contribution to an even greater motivation of strong specialists to work at MPC“, says the director and main shareholder of MPC, Ms. Asta Vilienė.
The network of MPC clinics has been operating in Vilnius since 1999. MPC has 10,800 registered patients. Presently, more than 80 employees work in the network. Last year, the turnover of the company reached EUR 1.9 million.
After the acquisition of MPC, the InMedica group currently owns a total of 63 family medicine clinics throughout Lithuania.
