What is truly remarkable is how this transformation happened: not through a top-down public reform, but through private sector vision and initiative, long-term investment, and responsible implementation, a paradigm now reshaping patient access nationwide.

As highlighted in an interview with Forbes Romania, Georgios Sofianos, 𝗖𝗘𝗢 𝗼𝗳 𝗦𝗢𝗙𝗠𝗘𝗗𝗜𝗖𝗔 𝗚𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗽, explains that this shift has been driven by grit, consistency, and a long-term commitment to sustainable medical innovation.

A crucial pillar of this growth is 𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻. SOFMEDICA has invested €𝟳.𝟱 𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗴𝗲𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴, operating accredited centers in 𝗕𝘂𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗔𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗻𝘀, alongside mobile training programs in collaboration with universities. Romanian medical universities are now preparing to launch similar initiatives.

This is how medical ecosystems are built: through consistency, technology, training, trust, and long-term partnerships.

Τρεις επεμβάσεις. Μία ημέρα. Τρεις ζωές που άλλαξαν.
Το Αρεταίειο Νοσοκομείο απέδειξε ότι είναι εφικτό ένα δημόσιο νοσοκομείο να υλοποιήσει Πρόγραμμα Χειρουργείων Υψηλής Έντασης (HIT).

Για πρώτη φορά σε κρατικό νοσοκομείο, πραγματοποιήθηκαν επιτυχώς τρεις ρομποτικές επεμβάσεις μέσα στην ίδια ημέρα:
Δύο ρομποτικές ολικές υστερεκτομές

Μία ρομποτική μυομεκτομή
Τρεις ασθενείς απέκτησαν ταχύτερη ανάρρωση, μεγαλύτερη ασφάλεια και νέα ποιότητα ζωής. Αυτή είναι η απόδειξη ότι η προηγμένη τεχνολογία προσφέρει στα δημόσια νοσοκομεία ανθρώπινο αντίκτυπο, όχι μόνο καινοτομία.

Αυτό το ορόσημο δείχνει τη δυναμική της ρομποτικής χειρουργικής στο δημόσιο σύστημα υγείας, αλλά και την ισχύ της συνεργασίας.
Οι ομάδες μας είναι αφοσιωμένες στην υποστήριξη των ικανότατων επαγγελματιών υγείας των δημοσίων νοσοκομείων, για το όφελος των ασθενών και τη βιωσιμότητα του συστήματος υγείας.

Βήμα-βήμα, διευρύνουμε την πρόσβαση σε φροντίδα υψηλής ακρίβειας στα δημόσια νοσοκομεία. Συνεχίζουμε να φέρνουμε την καινοτομία σε όλη την περιοχή μας.
