Plan was to bring something new, something innovative, something better, something minimally-invasive that will ensure high patient satisfaction and reduce medical system expenses. After almost three successful years of work, in September 2012, we have expanded range of our services to minimally-invasive orthopedic joint surgery. Since then, hospital is internationally known as Axis Special Hospital for spinal and orthopedic joint surgery.
