Our mission is to improve our patients' lives. This mission guides all our activities, decisions, targets and values. Our ultimate goal is to build up and sustain a mutual feeling of trust and cooperation in order to fulfill and balance the needs of our patients, employees, shareholders and society.

Two guiding principles determine the way we work and act as a company:

• We improve our patients' lives from a medical and from a quality of life perspective.
• We are contributing to the global success of the B. Braun Avitum Group on the basis of entrepreneurial and successful local organisations.

The most important objectives in this area are:

• Optimal patient care
• Clear medical key performance indicators
• Efficient treatment cycle

Patients, Practice and Processes in Perfect Harmony

As a non public company we commit ourselves, above all, to the well-being of our patients and see this commitment in the focus of all our efforts.

By treating patients ourselves, we get immediate feedback on the requirements of medical professionals enabling us to optimise our dialysis solutions.
