The largest Lithuanian network of medical clinics InMedica has acquired a private J. Pauliukas Family Clinic in Panevėžys, which provides family medical services. This is InMedica’s first investment in family clinics in the city.
“Up until this point, InMedica had not directly provided family medicine services in Panevėžys. Therefore, we are glad that from now on these services will be available to the residents of Panevėžys. We are grateful to the founder J. Pauliukas for his trust, as the doctor will remain working in the clinic after the purchase is completed, thus ensuring high-quality continuity of work and creating conditions to consistently increase the efficiency of the acquired clinic,” says Kęstutis Broniukaitis, CEO of InMedica.
InMedica obtained 100% of J. Pauliukas Family Clinic shares from the founder of the clinic, family doctor Jonas Pauliukas. The clinic provides general health care, internal health care, pediatric, gynecological, surgical, obstetric, general practitioner, and personal health care services.
According to the founder of the clinic Jonas Pauliukas, “the purposeful development of the services offered by the clinic and ensuring the highest quality standards have been the most important priorities for many years. We believe that the cooperation with InMedica will significantly contribute to even more efficient clinical processes and continue to help ensure the highest level of service to patients. “
J. Pauliukas Family Clinic was founded in 2004 and currently employs 30 people serving more than 5,000 patients. Last year, the company’s turnover amounted to EUR 0.5 million.
The InMedica Cardiology Clinic and two MediCA clinics, which joined the group in March 2022, are also operating in Panevėžys.
