Affidea boss denies rumours

Affidea CEO Dimitris Moulavasilis has categorically denied rumours that Waypoint Capital might be willing to sell the Pan East and South European imaging service provider.

The newly minted Law & Justice (PiS) administration is wasting no time stripping markets out of Polish healthcare. A bill that would limit the private ownership of public hospitals and ban dividends alongside proposals for free primary care are well on their way. Replacing the national insurer (NFZ) with a Beveridge system and a network of preferred service providers should follow. The era of commercialising state hospitals is over. Private operators will struggle to access public funds, but there is no resolve for the underfunded public system, suggesting more and more Poles will go private.
