25 years ago, when we started on the long road towhat today is Romanian International Assistance Services, I entered for the first time in the wildwood of the medical system after the ‘89 era, following in the footsteps of our clients insured abroad and who needed care in hospitals in Romania. Over the years, the landscape has changed, we have gained more and more experience and we have expanded our network of collaborators and partners, with only one goal: to provide the best services to the people who depend on us.

Today, we are working with the most prestigious networks of clinics and hospitals from Romania and, more than that, we pride ourselves on a special medical partnership. Designed according to the same values ​​and objectives as RIA Services, Columna Medical Center is that place dedicated 100% to clients and served by an excellent team of professionals.

Open in 2011 as an in vitro fertilization center, Columna Medical Center is at the same time a multidisciplinary medical clinic and a private hospital with day hospitalization, which, last year, succeeded in developing a minimally invasive gynecological surgery department.

Supported by a team of reputed specialists from Romania, the center has initiated partnerships with prestigious international clinics, so that it may provide Romanian patients with access to more complex investigations and a medical experience superior to the local market. Thus, began the campaign for the prevention of cervical cancer, conducted together with Anadolu Medical Center from Istanbul, a center of excellence in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of neoplastic disease.

In parallel with the Center for Assisted Human Reproduction, which benefits from the latest technologies in the field (including the latest and most advanced equipment for preventing the transmission of genetic diseases to the future child - the Saturn 5 laser for performing pre-implantation genetic screening and diagnosis), Columna Medical Center has continued to diversify its services, closely attending to the patients’ needs.

The specializations initially available in the clinic (general surgery, intensive care anesthesia, obstetrics-gynecology, cardiology, neurology, dermato-venereology, urology, internal medicine, hematology, endocrinology, diabetes and nutrition disorders, infectious diseases, occupational medicine, psychology and pediatrics) were completed by a series of complementary anti-aging therapies, homeotherapy and phlebology, by the menopause center and by the natural system for the treatment of urinary incontinence – the Femiscan System.

Likewise, the team of specialists in Assisted Human Reproduction initiated the IVF Academy, a program that complements the skills and technology with the latest information in the field of in vitro fertilization, so that patients can always choose and act in full awareness.

All of the above are the strengths of our partnership with Columna Medical Services and we are pleased to know that today in Romania there are various solutions, dedicated doctors and state-of-the-art technologies for the benefit of patients.
