Philips and MEDSI will cooperate in the areas of hospital renovation, full technical re-equipment of a MEDSI Clinical Hospital in Moscow’s suburban area, and the building of a new clinical diagnostics center for children and adults, including a short-term in-patient hospital and children’s clinical hospital. The partnership also extends to a multi-profile clinical diagnostics center for children and adults with a daytime in-patient hospital, which will be built as part of MEDSI’s Clinical Hospital on Michurinsky Avenue, Moscow.
