Affidea continues to expand with the acquisition of Poliklinika Eljuga

Affidea is a leading European provider of services in the field of radiological diagnostics, outpatient treatment, and laboratory tests, operating with over 320 centers distributed across 15 European countries. With the acquisition of the renowned Poliklinika Eljuga for women’s health, Affidea Croatia will create a center of excellence specialized in women’s health in Zagreb.

With this acquisition, Affidea continues to fulfill its commitment to expanding services for women’s healthcare. This investment in Croatia follows recent acquisitions in Switzerland, where Affidea added Brust-Zentrum and Plastic Surgery Group in Zurich, creating a unique center of excellence in breast care and offering a comprehensive pathway from breast cancer prevention to treatment, reconstruction, and research.

In Croatia, Affidea has been providing medical services since 2008, operating with four independent centers, two in Zagreb – Affidea Čavka and Affidea Sveti Rok, in Split – Affidea Kalajžić, and in Šibenik – Affidea Vita. Affidea offers a wide range of diagnostic and outpatient treatment services in the largest cities in the country, adhering to the highest safety standards at the European level. With this acquisition, Affidea now counts 5 top health centers in Croatia with over 120 healthcare professionals who examine 72,000 patients each year.
