SYNLAB (FSE: SYAB), Europe’s leading provider of medical diagnostic services and specialty testing, is investing €8 million to build a new medical care centre within Florence’s Manifattura Tabacchi, an urban hub for science, businesses, and culture. The new, approximately 4000m² medical care centre will feature state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment and has the capacity to serve up to 200,000 patients annually. Yesterday, SYNLAB together with several representatives from politics and business laid the cornerstone for the new centre in Florence.

“Integrating our medical services into the patient journey is a priority. With the new medical care centre, we foster and promote access to our expertise in specialty testing. At the same time, we utilise the professional and operational benefit of high-end diagnostic equipment. This way, we strategically expand our diagnostics and healthcare platform in Florence while creating a service portfolio that is key for future proof healthcare in Italy,” emphasises SYNLAB Group CEO Mathieu Floreani.

Andrea Buratti, CEO of SYNLAB Italy, further explains: “The new medical care centre will serve as a comprehensive “health hub”, providing regional access to a wide range of medical services. Amongst others, the centre offers blood collection, routine and specialty testing, as well as advanced diagnostic imaging, including high-field magnetic resonance imaging, CT scans, and mammography. What we are specifically proud of, the centre will feature the first women's health and prevention area of its kind in Tuscany.

SYNLAB’s new medical care centre will further emphasise easy accessibility and patient well-being. It will provide a safe and welcoming environment that meets ASHRAE standards and achieves LEED® Platinum certification for environmental sustainability. Furthermore, it promotes sustainable transportation options, including electrical vehicle charging points and proximity to public transport.
