Affidea

Last weekend, I had the privilege of joining our colleagues in Lithuania as they celebrated 20 years of Affidea Lietuva (Lithuania), a remarkable milestone shared with approximately 1,500 employees. It was an honour to celebrate alongside a team whose #passion, #professionalism and #commitment are evident not only in the #care they provide every day, but also in the culture they have built together. One of the most meaningful moments of the evening was the #AwardsCeremony, where Ruta Briediene and I presented the #Fidelity Award, recognising a colleague whose loyalty, dedication and long-term commitment have helped shape Affidea Lithuania over the past two decades. #Fidelity is one of Affidea's core values. For me, it represents far more than years of service. It is about staying true to our purpose, supporting one another through change, continuously striving for excellence, and building lasting relationships with our patients, colleagues and communities. Organisations become stronger when people choose to grow together. My sincere congratulations go to Vitalijus Orlovas, whose leadership has been instrumental in building not only a highly successful organisation, but also a culture where people feel valued, empowered and united by a common purpose. Walking through the event, you could genuinely feel the pride, energy and commitment of every individual, a reflection of the team that has been built over these 20 years. Congratulations to Giedrė Teresevičienė for an amazing organisation of the event and to everyone at Affidea Lietuva on this incredible milestone. Thank you for your dedication to our patients and for demonstrating every day what it means to combine clinical excellence with genuine care for people. Here's to the next 20 years of your journey! With: Ronald Voordendag, Oana Dumitroiu, Dr. Giedrius Bernotavičius (MD, PhD), Daiva Adomaitienė, Austeja Simanaviciute, Viktorija Ulinskė, Milda Vaišvilaitė-Vasilionokė

It was a great honor and pleasure to participate in the panel discussion: «AI in the Enterprise – Moving from Hype to ROI» during the 4th CIO Summit, discussing how Artificial Intelligence is evolving from hype into measurable business and operational value. We had the opportunity to exchange valuable perspectives around: • AI adoption in complex enterprise environments • AI Governance, cybersecurity and NIS2 readiness • Data governance and accountability • Operational ROI and real-world business outcomes • The importance of trust, explainability and responsible AI implementation One of the key messages I wanted to highlight is that technology alone is not enough. What truly makes the difference is strategy, governance, operational readiness and, above all, people. A sincere thank you to my fellow panel participants for the insightful discussion: - Andromachi Leze ,IT Director, HERON - Elias Vyzas ΕΥ Ελλάδος - Stavros Terikoglou , Commercial Director, Kyndryl HELLAS SMSA - Eros Kilinc , Consulting Manager, ServiceNow - Yiannis Papidis , Chief Technology & Business Change Officer, Kotsovolos Special thanks to Michalis Moraitis for the excellent moderation and to BOUSSIAS for the invitation and the honor to participate in such an important forum for technology, innovation and Digital Health. At Affidea, we continue to innovate, evolve and actively contribute to the future of Digital Healthcare through trusted, secure and patient-centric digital transformation. #CIOSummit2026 #AI #DigitalTransformation #DigitalHealth #CyberSecurity #AIGovernance #Innovation #HealthcareIT #Affidea #boussiaslive #boussiasevents

Personalised #care and value-based care are intrinsically linked. True #value in healthcare is created when outcomes matter to the individual patient. That requires more than standardised pathways. It requires care that is tailored, coordinated, and clinically aligned to each person’s specific condition, expectations, and context. This is why the perspective shared by David Sweetnam is so important. It reinforces a fundamental principle: patients should feel understood, guided and confident that the care they receive is designed for their individual needs. At Affidea, this is how we approach medicine. By combining clinical expertise, integrated pathways and technology-enabled insights, we move from standardised delivery to truly individualised care. Because delivering value ultimately means one thing: providing the right care, at the right time, in the right way for each patient. #Affidea #PersonalisedCare #ValueBasedCare #ClinicalExcellence #IntegratedCare #PatientExperience

Always inspiring to be at #ECR2026, where the European #radiology community comes together to discuss how innovation is reshaping diagnostics and patient care. What stands out is how quickly technology is evolving - from #AI-enabled tools to new digital solutions supporting clinical decision-making. But the real challenge for healthcare providers is not simply adopting innovation; it is ensuring that these technologies are clinically meaningful, responsibly integrated into workflows, and ultimately beneficial for patients. At Affidea, we believe that the combination of strong clinical expertise, rigorous validation, and openness to #innovation is what will truly advance imaging and out-of-hospital care across Europe.

Last Thursday evening in a beautiful location of the Milan metropolitan area, I had the privilege of joining the Affidea Italia Leadership Team event, a special occasion enriched by insightful presentations and an enjoyable dinner shared with colleagues. This year, Fabio Silo, CEO Italy, brought together HQ functional leaders, regional managers, and all center managers — a truly comprehensive gathering of the team. I had the honour of opening the event with a presentation on the Affidea Group’s journey to date and our vision for the years ahead. I highlighted how our pillars - Clinical & Quality, Digitalization, Operational & Commercial Excellence, Marketing Strategy & Brand Empowerment, and both Organic and Inorganic Growth - continue to drive our business development and reinforce our commitment to Value-Based Healthcare for our patients. 💙 Ronald Voordendag, Group CFO and CFO Italy, followed with an overview of the financial results achieved in 2025 and the 2026 plan. He presented the key investments and ongoing projects by geographic area and business line, emphasizing how #technology, #innovation and the expansion of our network remain top priorities on our agenda. Fabio Silo then translated our vision into concrete actions through an excellent presentation on the 2026 strategy and growth plan: ✅ Further strengthening the organization with new champions supporting operational and commercial excellence, and further empowering our center managers, the beating heart of our patient-facing activities. ✅ Advancing our Polyclinic Model, extending the Out-of-Hospital and low-complexity surgical services to manage the full patient pathway. ✅ Reinforcing our core in Diagnostics and Nuclear Medicine, along with services dedicated to oncology patients and those with chronic conditions. ✅ Expanding Occupational Medicine, Corporate welfare, Teleradiology and Digital Services to enhance accessibility and support integrated care pathways. ✅ Introducing previews of modern, welcoming center layouts and initiatives to further elevate the Affidea brand. Our special guest, Mahen HOOLASH, concluded the session with a thought-provoking and interactive presentation, opening with a powerful reminder: “We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.” His message underscored how a growing organization must embrace diversity, complementarity, and collaboration at every level to adapt to cultural and generational change. The Affidea Italy Leadership Event was not only a moment for teamwork and celebration, it also marked the culmination of a year of dedication and hard work, and the beginning of a new chapter filled with challenges and ambition. My sincere thanks to Fabio Silo and the entire team for flawlessly orchestrating every detail behind the scenes. A heartfelt appreciation to everyone who participated and who brings our ambitions to life every day. Together, you are shaping the next chapter of @Affidea Italy. 💙

Last week in Valencia, I had the privilege to host the Affidea Medical Council 2025, bringing together our Clinical Leadership Community from 15 countries and the members of our Medical Advisory Board.   This year’s theme was clear and powerful: Value Based Healthcare, making clinical quality and safety, outcomes that truly matter to patients, and experience the true measure of our success.   We started with an inspiring vision from our CEO, Guy Blomfield, reminding us that Value Based Healthcare is not just a concept but a transformation in how we think, invest and deliver care.   Across two days, we turned that vision into action: ✅ Clinical Excellence, not just meeting compliance and standards but exceeding them to create safer, better care. ✅ Quality Management, how we can use real-time metrics and analytics to monitor and improve patient care. ✅ From Dose to Care, reminding us how smart dose management and sustainable imaging practices can directly impact safety and efficiency. ✅ Professional development programs, looking ahead to multidisciplinary learning and innovative joint ventures in 2026. ✅ Innovating patient pathways with evidence-based medicine guidelines and new clinical services and products. ✅ AI journey at Affidea with the results and evidences on several projects by our country experts.    Dr Charles Niehaus explored #oncology care and how to design integrated, outcome-focused cancer pathways, while Dr Johann Alberts, presented how digital tools can create a seamless patient journey.   Day two began with a deep dive into “Transitioning from Volume to Value Based in Healthcare Services” led by Athanasia Papachristodoulou, Chryssa Paraskevopoulou, and Rosana Santos, helping us reflect on how to practically shift our mindset and systems from volume to value, to meaningful outcomes and patient impact.   A very special highlight was the Leadership Workshop led by Eduardo Blazquez Gomez and Mahen HOOLASH, with the support of our long-standing partner GE HealthCare and François C..    The Medical Council was closed by Dr Charles Niehaus reminding us of the extraordinary talent and passion within our medical community. When we unite behind a shared vision and openly exchange ideas, we move closer to a future where every patient’s outcome and experience truly count. Thank you, Charles! My special thanks to Ines Ferreira, Katarzyna Alabani and Rosana Santos for orchestrating every detail behind the scenes and ensuring a flawless experience. Big appreciation to everyone who joined us in Valencia and to every clinician across Affidea who turns these ambitions into daily reality. Together, we are building the next chapter of Value Based Healthcare. 💙
