What centromedico does

Centromedico, legally operating as PDS Medical SA, is a multi-disciplinary outpatient healthcare network headquartered in Chiasso, Canton Ticino, Switzerland. Founded in 2012, the organization operates 11 medical centers distributed across the entire Ticino canton — in Bellinzona, Bellinzona Castello, Blenio, Chiasso, Claro, Cugnasco, Faido, Locarno, Lugano Centro, Lugano Stazione, Mendrisio, and Stabio — staffed by approximately 100 physicians and 280 total collaborators covering 24+ medical specialties including angiology, cardiology, general and orthopedic surgery, maxillofacial surgery, physiotherapy, ophthalmology, radiology, oncology, neurology, pediatrics, psychiatry, and urology. Its core technology and platform is the integration of primary care physicians, specialists, and diagnostic services under a single organizational umbrella at each site, supplemented by a new digital web platform launched in December 2025.

The company is a subsidiary of Swiss Medical Network, one of Switzerland's principal private healthcare groups, and is an integrated member of Rete Sant'Anna, the cantonal coordinated-care platform that links hospitals, specialist centers, and outpatient services. These affiliations provide referral pathways, brand credibility, and access to advanced specialist facilities and quality standards beyond what a standalone operator could achieve.

Centromedico generates revenue through patient consultations, examinations, and treatments billed primarily via Swiss mandatory health insurance (KVG/LAMal), supplementary insurance, and direct patient payments. The go-to-market model is sales-led and physical: patients access services either by walk-in/appointment at any of the 11 centers or through referrals from general practitioners within and outside the network. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. Geographic expansion is incremental and Ticino-focused, with a new Bellinzona Castello center ('La Turrita') scheduled to open in June 2026.
