Our care philosophy
We know renal failure is a life-changing condition. With decades of experience in the field, we have an in-depth understanding of how to provide the support patients need to better master their individual therapy journeys.
For us renal care goes far beyond just providing dialysis treatment. We work in partnership with patients, their families and caregivers to provide the level of care that we would expect for ourselves and our families, loved ones and friends – the kind of care in which the patient is at the heart of everything we do.
Caring is a family tradition
Our motivation
The driving force behind all our efforts are our strong family values. These values help us to develop our long-term vision of the future – a future where commitment and sustainability are more than just words.
That is why our staff is of course well-trained and highly qualified. And through continuous training, our doctors and nurses are constantly maintaining and expanding their specialized expertise. To optimize treatment and patient well-being, we use the latest and most reliable technology and products as well as standardized processes.
B. Braun is also committed to the philosophy of continuing professional development. This includes e-learning and college courses as well as attendances at clinical conferences.

Since our founding days we have constantly grown and evolved – to become one of the world‘s leading manufacturers of medical devices and pharmaceutical products, as well as a major medical-service provider.

Understanding and knowledge empower patients
Knowledge is key to enabling patients to make informed decisions about their care and strive for improved outcomes.
We want patients to understand their conditions, the available options they have and the impact they can have on their treatment.
A comprehensive education program and professional counseling by the healthcare team is key to ensuring patients are actively involved in decision making and their own care.
Patient Involvement

Rather than fighting a battle with their limitations we want patients to be involved in their treatment and work together with their healthcare team to improve their outcomes.
