April the 6th, 2023 - Poliklinika Aviva, one of the country's best known and leading private healthcare facilities, is set to open another brand new and larger space this month, in which four million euros was invested.

As Poslovni Dnevnik/Darko Bicak writes, following an investment cycle totalling over seven million euros over the last year and a half, one of the most famous Croatian private healthcare institutions, Poliklinika Aviva, will soon open its doors at a new location in Zagreb. After 44 years of operation in Nemetova Street, the polyclinic will open its doors in mid-April in a larger and more modern space spanning 2,600 square metres in Svetice near the stadium in Maksimir, Zagreb. The investment in the purchase of the new building and equipment, which was premiered to the Croatian public a few days ago, totals around four million euros.

Poliklinika Aviva is also a member of Arsano Medical Group, the largest group of private healthcare institutions in the wider region. As Dr. Nevenka Kovac, the director of Aviva, points out, by moving to a new location, this facility, which annually provides services to over 60,000 patients, will become the largest, most modern, and most technically equipped private polyclinic in one location in Zagreb and indeed in all of the Republic of Croatia.

In addition to the existing services and as many as 30 different activities, Poliklinika Aviva is also introducing new activities at their new location, which will further strengthen the clinic's market position as a pioneer of preventive medicine and systematic examinations.

"With new technology and services, as well as synergy with other sister institutions within the Arsano Medical Group and the Adria Dental Group, we're going to make an additional step forward on the market. Our new magnetic resonance device is certainly the best in all of Croatia, we're introducing a day hospital, which is a step forward for private polyclinics, we're introducing new departments such as anesthesiology, pediatrics and dental medicine, and in order to make a step forward in preventive medicine, we'll be the first on the market to introduce a dental examination as standard part of a systematic health review,'' said Dr. Kovac.

At Poliklinika Aviva's brand new location, patients will be greeted by three new state-of-the-art radiological devices: MR with 1.5 Tesla power, a new CT device and a new X-ray, and the laboratory will be additionally equipped and will be more accessible to everyone at the new location. As part of their modern day hospital, Poliklinika Aviva will provide patients with more complex treatment and several hours of therapy.

Given that Aviva is a member of the wider Arsano Medical Group, in which four other specialist healthcare institutions currently operate in Croatia - the Dr. Nemec Special Hospital for Orthopedics and General Surgery, the Arithera Special Hospital, Polyclinic Dijagnostika 2000 and Polyclinic Uro centar, as well as the Slovenian Diagnostic Health institution Digital Image Diagnostics DSD from Ptuj, patients can receive a complete service and more serious specialist procedures.

As if all of the above wasn't enough, they aren't stopping there. In addition to institutions within the Arsano Medical Group, Poliklinika Aviva cooperates with all members of the Adria Dental Group, which consists of seven dental clinics and five dental laboratories in the area of Zagreb, Solin, Rijeka and Porec.

Igor Cicak, the CEO and main partner of Provectus Capital Partners and Chairman of the Supervisory Board of the Arsano Medical Group, pointed out that the total investment in the consolidation of the Arsano Medical Group reached 45 million euros, which is the largest investment ever made in private healthcare in Croatia.

"With the Arsano Medical Group, we've created the largest private healthcare group in the Republic of Croatia with more than 400 employees, and over 100,000 patients pass through our healthcare facilities annually. But our ambitions don't end there. We're also continuously in discussions with other specialist polyclinics and will continue to grow through new investments in Croatia and the wider region," concluded Cicak.
