TritonLife Group Opens Private Hospital in Miskolc

The TritonLife Group has opened a new private hospital in Miskolc, NE Hungary, with a HUF three billion investment, the Hungarian-owned private healthcare provider told MTI on Thursday.

In their statement, they emphasized that it was for the first time that the National Public Health Center granted a license to an integrated private healthcare institution system that serves the entire patient pathway in a complex manner, of which the MacroKlinika in Miskolc, which provides outpatient care and imaging radiology diagnostics, is an important element in addition to the new hospital. The system will provide a complete patient pathway, including outpatient care, full diagnostics, inpatient care, surgical procedures requiring extended hospitalization and same-day surgical procedures.

The TritonLife care system, serving the North-Eastern Hungary region, has almost 150 doctors in 30 specialties, with the capacity for more than 30,000 doctor-patient encounters, thousands of surgeries and diagnostic imaging tests per year.

The institution provides teaching and practice space for future healthcare professionals in cooperation with the University of Miskolc, and joins the TritonLife Group's chain of state-accredited private hospitals in the country, which also provide specialist training.

According to a TritonLife statement, the launch of the complex private hospital and the associated integrated care system is an important milestone in the life of the county and the region: the development will offer choice to the people of the region, will be available to local businesses to provide screening programs for their employees and will contribute to the competitiveness of the region.

The statement quotes Péter Haraszti, founding CEO of the TritonLife Group, who stressed that the new private hospital is part of the group's national expansion strategy. He recalled that in April this year, a large diagnostic imaging center was opened in Veszprém, a niche player in the region, with a HUF 1 billion investment in its development.

Founder-president and head of professional strategy of the TritonLife Group, Lajos Fábián, said that new opportunities in education and training would be opened up in the region by the involvement of the company in the training of health professionals, a field with a serious shortage of staff. Thanks to a cooperation agreement under development with the University of Miskolc, the institution could also serve as a training site for radiographers, nurses, specialist nurses and health tourism managers, he added.

The medical director of the TritonLife Private Hospital Miskolc, Zsolt Szabó, said that the private hospital could perform 3,000-4,000 operations a year, greatly relieving the burden on state health care. This can mean up to 10-15 operations a day in seven areas, and 25 beds provide the necessary infrastructure for the aftercare of patients.
