Vita Hospital

Founded in 1991 by two doctors, Vita was registered as the first private health facility in Sofia and in 2004 became the city's first private multidisciplinary hospital for active treatment. Today it operates across two buildings with more than 200 beds and 7 operating theatres. Its Department of Orthopaedics and Traumatology gives priority to minimally invasive arthroscopic surgery alongside joint replacement, while the Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery unit brings together surgeons, endocrinologists, a dietitian and a psychologist. An International Patients Department supports patients travelling from abroad, and patients and their relatives receive free psychological support during the hospital stay. Vita was named Hospital of the Year in 2018.
