Globally, Diaverum has been involved in nephrology treatment for 30 years, when the first dialysis clinic was opened in Sweden – under the previous name Gambro Healthcare. Today, 14,000 employees care for 40,000 patients in 24 countries, performing more than 6 million dialyses per year.
The vision and context when our PPP contract was born few years ago, was to bring hemodialysis service closest to patients, as at the time they used to travel long distance to reach their dialysis clinic.
At Diaverum Albania we have a portfolio of 5 clinics, located in Vlora, Shkodra, Lezha, Elbasan and Korça, where around 120 employees provide true care to empower our patients to live a fulfilling life.
At the heart of what we do is our highly standardized care delivery model, which continuously develops. We strive to ensure excellent medical outcomes that exceed the requirements of national health systems.
All Albanian dialysis clinics work closely with local healthcare facilities, which ensures optimal patient care. All our activities are focused on patients’ optimal care and treatment. The main principle is a holistic approach to the patient – in other words, treatment is not limited to dialysis only. We focus on taking care of individual needs of our patients, because everyone experiences the illness differently. We offer professionalism and care – always at the highest level.
At Diaverum, we strive to promote among patients the attitude that their disease does not have to limit them – this is of great importance for individuals who have to undergo dialysis several times a week. The holiday dialysis program called d.HOLIDAY enables patients who can travel to have some holiday as well as treatment in selected Diaverum dialysis clinics around the world.
