Vita Hospital

Vita is the first private multi-profile hospital in Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria. Established in 1992, the hospital has been fully operational ever since, with two buildings in the city and a capacity of over 200 beds. Vita is one of the most renowned private hospitals in the country, offering top-tier healthcare for nearly 30 years to both Bulgarian and international patients.

The doctors at our clinic are highly qualified, having graduated from leading universities across Europe and trained at prestigious European clinics and institutions. They form the backbone of our hospital, which performs procedures in orthopedics, plastic surgery, bariatric and metabolic surgery, gynecology, general surgery, and more. Vita also hosts one of the country’s top fertility centers—the Vita In Vitro Center.

The hospital employs specialists in over 30 fields of modern medicine, working in state-of-the-art facilities equipped with the latest medical technology. With over 120 beds, we offer patients the option of private rooms or even luxury studio apartments with mountain views.

Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery

Bariatric surgery is a surgical treatment for morbid obesity. It represents a modern and effective approach to combating obesity and type 2 diabetes. This method leads to significant weight loss, which improves—and in many cases resolves—obesity-related conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, asthma and other respiratory disorders, arthritis, high cholesterol, fatty liver, and more.

In cases of severe obesity, undergoing such surgical intervention can also reduce overall mortality rates. This is why the term “metabolic surgery” has gained prominence.

Vita Hospital has successfully performed numerous procedures of this kind, achieving excellent outcomes and high patient satisfaction. In 2019, we hosted a bariatric symposium featuring world-renowned bariatric surgeon and chief physician at Sachsenhausen Hospital in Frankfurt, Dr. Plamen Staikov, as our honored guest.
