Infosan: Transforming Pediatric Eye Care in Romania
Infosan, the only private pediatric ophthalmology hospital in Romania, has been a beacon of hope for children with eye conditions for over two decades. Founded in 2002 by two dedicated doctors, Infosan has been delivering top-tier ophthalmology services for over 23 years.
Last year, Infosan invested approximately EUR 2.2 mln in developing its medical services, with 2 million euros allocated to the construction of a new clinic in Bucharest. This expansion will significantly increase its capacity, serving up to 300 patients daily, offering ophthalmology services for both children and adults. The new clinic, set to be completed in the first half of 2025, will undoubtedly boost its treatment capacity, currently standing at 3,000 outpatients and 300 day-hospitalized patients monthly.
Infosan's business strategy focuses on sustainable investments and advanced technologies. This approach is evident in its team of 35 medical professionals, who are trained and specialized within the hospital, performing rare conditions' diagnoses and unique surgical interventions in Romania, available in only a few centers worldwide.
The hospital's mission is to eliminate preventable blindness and visual impairment. It achieves this through personalized and empathetic care, treating a wide range of conditions such as myopia, amblyopia, strabismus, congenital cataracts, and retinopathy of prematurity.
Infosan's impact extends beyond the medical sector. Economically, it sustains a specialized healthcare workforce and contributes millions in annual revenue. In 2024, Infosan contributed RON 2.5 mln to the local economy. Socially, it advances pediatric eye care, increases awareness, and early intervention for vision problems, thereby improving public health outcomes in Romania's pediatric population.
Infosan conducts screening campaigns in partnership with local authorities and educational institutions to identify undiagnosed vision problems in children, initially in Bucharest kindergartens and planning expansion to other southern counties. This proactive approach enhances early diagnosis and preventive care, ensuring a brighter future for many children.
Infosan is highly rated locally, with excellent patient reviews. It is currently the #2 top-rated private hospital in Bucharest, boasting a 4.7-star rating from around 1,000 reviews. This strong reputation and community trust in its services are a testament to its commitment to providing the best possible care.
For 2025, Infosan estimates a 15% increase in turnover, driven by service expansion and the opening of the new clinic. This growth is a testament to Infosan's success and its commitment to improving the community's life through top medical services. As stated by its co-founder and General Manager, Călin Ciubotaru, Infosan's mission is to improve the community's life through top medical services.
Infosan maintains strong partnerships with internationally renowned medical institutions like the Ludwig Maximilian University Hospital in Munich, Germany, and the Antwerp University Hospital in Belgium. These partnerships bring doctors from these institutions to Romania annually, enhancing Infosan's level of expertise and performance.
In conclusion, Infosan's impact is twofold: economically, it sustains a specialized healthcare workforce and contributes millions in annual revenue; socially, it advances pediatric eye care, increases awareness and early intervention for vision problems, and thereby improves public health outcomes in Romania’s pediatric population.
