Lisa Jordan, Managing Director for Diaverum UK
I am excited and proud in equal measure about our new offering. Travel – and more specifically, freedom of movement - is an essential part of life; it’s not only about exploring new destinations but also about being able to connect with friends and family in other cities or countries. Patients who are on a transplant waiting list are on call 24/7 and must be able to reach the transplant centre within a short window of time once they are notified a kidney is available for them. Our d.HOLIDAY Fly Back Programme will give these patients the confidence to travel with piece of mind at such an important moment in their lives.
Michaela Blomstrand, Global Director Patient Experience and Stakeholder Management
I am delighted that d.HOLIDAY, an incredibly valuable service available to people living with CKD, is now supporting the mobility of dialysis patients on their long-awaited and highly emotional journey towards transplantation. As both a nephrologist and kidney donor, I’ve had the privilege to witness the profound difference receiving a kidney can make in empowering CKD patients to live fulfilling lives. That d.HOLIDAY understands and supports this, is proof that Diaverum is an organisation with True care at the core of everything it does.
Dr Domingos Machado, Transplantation Ambassador
There is a growing awareness of the environmental impact of healthcare. If the global healthcare industry were a country, it would be the world’s fifth largest contributor to carbon emissions. When it comes to renal care, dialysis is not only a lifetime burden to patients, but also a significant burden to the environment. With that in mind, we are tackling the environmental impact of our operations head on, articulating a new environmental strategy to lead us to Net Zero by 2050. Our provision of life-enhancing renal care to patients around the world creates a platform from which we can reduce our environmental footprint while improving medical outcomes and the well-being of the people we care for, in a true win-win situation.
Dimitris Moulavasilis, Diaverum CEO
We truly believe that private companies’ ethical operating principles and sustainable business models can create shared value that benefit society, while safeguarding the environment in which we live. Reflecting on Diaverum’s ESG journey to date, I am inspired by both the progress made and the challenges ahead. With dedication to our patients, employees,partners and the wider society in which we operate as our constant, I am confident that Diaverum is poised to drive positive change, shaping a more sustainable future for the healthcare industry and beyond. All of this is shared in detail in our 2023 ESG Report, which I invite you to read.
Stephanie de Sury, Global ESG Manager
This latest win is fantastic news for Diaverum and serves to underscore the growth trajectory we’re on in the UK. There were a number of our competitors involved in what was a highly competitive tender. Our bid – combining best-in-class care at the right pricing - was clearly a compelling and winning offer. Many thanks to everyone involved for this tremendous win.
Lisa Jordan, Managing Director - Diaverum UK
At Diaverum, we are dedicated to empowering patients and their families to live fulfilling lives, and we know that travel plays a huge role in this. But travelling can feel like a very big challenge for people who need to receive regular dialysis treatments. That’s why we developed d.HOLIDAY, a programme which gives patients access to high quality care at their travel destination.
Michaela Blomstrand, Diaverum Global Director Patient Experience and Stakeholder Management
We know that taking a holiday is an important part of enjoying life, and how daunting it can be for patients on dialysis to even imagine planning a short trip, more so a holiday. That’s why we have dedicated d.HOLIDAY Coordinators in each country where we operate, who support patients through every step of their journey – from developing a travel itinerary that suits their needs, to submitting the necessary travel documentation and getting recommendations on CKD-friendly activities. We want to make it as easy as possible for anyone on dialysis to benefit from a relaxing trip.
Elenor Mårtensson, d.HOLIDAY Global Customer Manager
I am delighted that Greece has been added to the list of 24 countries across the world where d.HOLIDAY is available. Our clinic teams are ready to welcome holiday dialysis patients and provide them with exceptional care services, going above & beyond to ensure they enjoy wonderful holiday experiences. We hope this news inspires more dialysis patients to travel to Greece, a beautiful country which has something to offer for everyone.
Aris Bailan, Diaverum Hellas Managing Director
As a proud Greek myself, I couldn’t be more delighted to welcome Greece to Diaverum’s global network, as our 24th country.  With the strong foundation our newly acquired clinics have already put in place, combined with our global standards of care and industry-leading digital innovations, we aim to deliver a step-change in the provision of world-class, AI-enabled, personalised kidney care in Greece, underscored by Diaverum’s True care culture
Dimitris Moulavasilis, Diaverum CEO
Today’s news marks the continuation of our organisation’s expansion across the Mediterranean region, where we already have operations in Portugal, Spain, France, Italy and Morocco. Our expansion into Greece is starting with the acquisition of a group of clinics renowned for their exceptional care standards, top-tier facilities, and outstanding human capital.
