Vision

We are building up a pan-European organisation committed to providing best in class cancer care.

We do so by bringing together experienced medical professionals from complementary horizons and by using state-of-the art technology.

Radiotherapy is core (albeit not exclusive) to our operations. We value its medical benefits, constant clinical and technology developments as well as the cost efficiency aspects of the therapy.

Our values:

Commitment to Patients – we do what we do because we want to help patients who suffer from cancer.

People – are at the very centre of what we do and how we do it. They provide the care to our patients: medically savvy, humanly caring. As an organisation, our responsibility is to grow and retain our people.

Excellence – we provide lifesaving treatments, which are highly technical and require extreme accuracy. We must be excellent at what we do.

Collaboration – in our environment is a pre-requisite to quality and excellence. And to performance in general. We seek to provide the best collaborative environment – internally and externally.

Innovation – goes beyond our efforts to optimise technology. Innovation is a mindset. It is a call to continuously improve our procedures, services and attitudes to providing care.

Flexible and long-term approach

We develop through partnerships, acquisitions and by starting new operations. France, Germany, the UK, Netherlands, Italy and Romania are geographies where we are developing our presence.

Our investment and partnering approach is flexible. We are not limited by specific investment horizon. We seek to accommodate the preferences of the parties and individuals involved and we have a flexible approach to shareholding, with a preference for majority investments, but the flexibility to gain majority ownership over time.

We value an entrepreneurial mindset and like to partner and share value with doctors and organisations.

Below are examples of situations in which MedEuropa gets involved.

Selling your practice to MedEuropa

For any owner of a practice, finding the right successor can be a delicate process, in terms of :

– Ensuring continued quality of care to patients and relationships with referrers and employees: finding the right person(s) to take over;
– Personal transition: managing a smooth phase out;
– Capital: getting the appropriate value for what has been built over many years.

MedEuropa’s management is experienced in accompanying such situations and we can put together with you a plan that will include:

– Optimised transfer of the shares: one-off or in stages; option to reinvest in the next stage of growth, taking into consideration efficient structuring;
– Professional activity: gradual phase-out or immediate cessation; potential consulting activities, etc.
– Financing of share participation of incoming doctors (if relevant).

Separation situations (eg demerger of radiology and radiotherapy activities) can also be addressed using a similar approach.

Partnering with MedEuropa to grow

MedEuropa likes to partner with entrepreneurs.

Here are examples of situations where we can invest alongside ambitious professionals:

Expansion: adding a new piece of equipment in its existing premises
Geographical expansion : Acquiring one or more existing sites to create a local or regional network.
Renewal: replacing an old equipment with state-of-the art technology
Greenfield projects : opening a new centre justified by unserved needs (eg new technology).
Relocation: moving an existing operation into new premises.

+ any other meaningful project we have not thought of ourselves!

Collaborating to focus on our core activity

At MedEuropa, we believe that radiotherapy is best operated when it is a stand-alone activity which receives 100% attention.

Many public and private hospitals have successfully chosen to focus on their core activities by divesting their radiotherapy operations to private operators like MedEuropa.

Appropriate collaboration agreements are put in place to safeguard the long term interests of both parties and make such a transaction a win-win.

Such agreements typically cover areas like the (i) use of shared premises and assets, (ii) integrating the clinical pathway and collaboration with oncology departments, (iii) participation on tumour boards, etc.

PPPs: Public-Private partnerships and Private-Private Partnerships are a lighter form of divestments where the hospital retains part of the operations.

MedEuropa’s management is experienced in setting up and operating such collaborations.
