What Group Mediterra does

Group Mediterra a.s. (formerly VAMED MEDITERRA a.s.) is a Czech private healthcare operator founded in 2008 and headquartered in Prague. The group runs seven medical facilities across eight locations, including the Rehabilitační klinika Malvazinky and Poliklinika Palackého in Prague, regional hospitals in Mostiště, Mělník, Sedlčany, and Tanvald, the C.L.P.A. musculoskeletal center, and a private secondary nursing school in Mělník. Its service portfolio spans the full patient lifecycle: preventive care, acute care (including maternity, ICU, and surgery), and follow-up care with specialization in intensive aftercare (NIP), long-term inpatient care (ODLP), long-term intensive nursing care (DIOP), home care, and respite care. Differentiated clinical capabilities include Da Vinci robotic-assisted surgery (nearly 500 procedures per year at Mostiště), a high-volume joint replacement program (~700 hip and knee replacements per year), and bariatric surgery positioned among the leading Czech providers.

The primary revenue model is reimbursement from Czech public health insurance, primarily VZP (Všeobecná zdravotní pojišťovna), under contracts covering insured Czech patients. A secondary revenue stream comes from medical tourism, where international patients pay directly for joint replacements, bariatric surgery, and robotic prostate surgery that are difficult to access in their home countries. Distribution is direct through owned hospitals and clinics, with supplementa] B2B marketing across social media (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn, TikTok), a blog, press releases, and partnerships with health insurance companies for patient referrals. The group became a subsidiary of Penta Hospitals following ÚOHS approval on January 12, 2026, integrating it into a larger Central European healthcare platform.
