Strategy

Creating a future worth living. For patients. Worldwide. Every day. This is our vision that unites all of us at Fresenius Medical Care – it always has and always will. We believe that in the future, health care will not be as we know it today. It faces multiple challenges: An ageing population and a rise in chronic diseases will transform patient demographics. Fragmented care and health care staff shortages will create a need for new solutions. At the same time, cost pressure and the limitations of current health care systems will call for these solutions to be deeply rooted at system level. Moreover, digitalization, above all data analytics and artificial intelligence, are already disrupting the way we deliver health care.

Our four core competencies – innovating products, operating outpatient facilities, standardizing medical procedures and coordinating patients efficiently – play a fundamental role in addressing these challenges. By leveraging our core competencies even further we intend to go a step further and take our strategy to the next level: To capture the opportunities and overcome the challenges, we have enhanced our strategy. This is the next step towards achieving our goal of providing health care for chronically and critically ill patients across the renal care continuum. We aim to offer sustainable solutions with innovative products and services of the highest quality at a reliable cost.

Renal care continuum

Fresenius Medical Care will focus on creating the future of health care for chronically and critically ill patients across the renal care continuum. This encompasses the following aspects:

Sustainability priorities

Our long-term focus is on sustainability opportunities that support our mission to provide the best possible care for a growing number of patients in different health care systems. To us, sustainability is about being successful in the long-term and creating lasting value: economically, ecologically and socially. Over the past years, we have continually stepped up our sustainability activities and defined new global targets to further drive the integration of sustainability into our business and improve our sustainability performance.
