We offer high-quality care here, but without long waiting times and without a hospital atmosphere.” CEO Zvi Donat gives us a tour of his Mediport Medical Centre Cadix, a stone's throw from Antwerp's ZAS-Cadix Hospital. Both are located in the same Cadix district, but Mediport is a completely private medical centre, where 26 specialists from 10 different disciplines work alongside about ten paramedics. Many of them also work part-time in a hospital.
Anyone walking in here would think they were in a hotel. A lobby with soft lounge music, cosy coffee corners with velvet seats and dim lighting, and large screens displaying images of exotic holiday beaches. The signs here don't just point you to departments like cardiology or orthopaedics, but also to Ibiza or Hawaii. The urology department is located in Mykonos.
