Medical Continence Centers (MCC) is a Polish initiative geared towards a specialist niche in medicine, which is still a taboo subject for many, despite its scale.
Progressive ageing in Europe’s population, civilization changes and growing social awareness require not only an increase in what specialists have to offer but also an expansion and improvement of the quality of services. This creates an excellent opportunity for investors.
Launching a new generation of interdisciplinary medical centers requires co-operation which goes beyond exact medicine. Thanks to the knowledge and qualifications of its team and experience in creating the multidisciplinary medical co-operation acquired over the years, MCC has every reason to become the leader in looking after people with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS).
What makes MCC stand out, in particular, from many other private medical centers in the Polish market is a strategy for raising capital for development, through which we educate, engage and, therefore, constantly expand the community - our ambassadors.
Launching the first model center in Warsaw is the first step towards the pursuit of MCC’s development strategy.
Today, creativity is the most important element of the competitive edge of countries with strong economies. Added value determines whether or not a product/service is attractive and it is the main driving force behind consumers’/patients’ decisions. This is why going beyond offering exclusively standard medical services, frequently based on obsolete models, is so vital for MCC’s strategy. Therefore a model center is to be launched in Warsaw, where innovative solutions, orientated to the needs of specific and "difficult" UI patients, can be achieved, this to enable more centers to be launched.
Without investing in the construction of new buildings, we invest in people and equipment, while being a desirable lessee for the office and service centers which are growing dynamically in Polish cities. This allows us to determine the optimal location for each center which is easy to reach even during peak hours. This also makes it possible to limit the amount of invested capital and to earn a return on it more quickly, enabling further reinvestments, development and, in consequence, an above-average increase in the company’s value.
MCC’s business model is not to be confined exclusively to the richer segements of the commnity, whose numbers have been growing in Poland for many years. On the contrary, while maintaining top quality, we trigger mechanisms combining social involvement with increased access to the services we offer. Our relations and experience of more than 15 years in building up a patients’ community in Poland and worldwide are the key.

Responsible business is a strategic, long-term approach based on the principles of social dialogue and seeking solutions which are favourable both to a business and the totality of its environment, employees, all stakeholders and the community in which a company operates. This is the guiding motto of MCC’s founders. The corporate social responsibility (CSR) pursued by MCC means increased investments in human resources and extensive relations with the company’s environment, taking into account increasing environmental protection standards.
When undertaking activities for the benefit of our stakeholders and the MCC community, we treat them not as expenses but investments which lead to achieving the following objectives:
The key tools which will allow MCC to achieve its CSR objectives include, among other things:
In Poland, another important area of CSR-orientated activities is still education and promoting the idea itself. By choosing a path of development through crowdfunding we also want to contribute to popularizing it in this way.
Crowdfunding, i.e. social financing is a dynamically developing source of financing for innovative projects worldwide. In Poland, after the limit was increased from EUR 100K to EUR 1M, we have already observed an increase in new share issues carried out in this way.
Despite the possibility of financing the company’s development using traditional sources of finance, the MCC founders have recognized the key importance of reaching out to the widest possible community already at the stage of raising the funds necessary for launching the first model center for the treatment of incontinence in Poland.
