Throughout Spain, the company now operates 47 clinics serving over 4,300 patients, becoming the largest independent private renal care provider in Spain by number of patients – according to the Spanish Nephrology Society, there were approximately 26,000 dialysis patients in the country in 2019.
José Maria Ordoñez, Country Manager for Diaverum Spain, said: "The impressive growth of Diaverum in Spain has only been possible with the consistent delivery of best in class life enhancing renal care to our patients, which has been recognized by the Spanish health authorities and has given us a strong competitive advantage in the tender processes we have participated over the last 5 years.
Shaira Martínez, Medical Director of Diaverum Spain, assures that: “The opening of 8 new clinics shows that the high quality of care we provide generates growth opportunities for the company. Our system of quality indicators shows an improvement in the medical results of the new patients that receive treatment in our clinics, after the start of treatment and follow-up by the Diaverum medical team”.
Teresa Martínez, Operations Manager of Diaverum Spain, comments: “It is a moment of pride for the company and our teams in Spain. Our success in the tender process, that began in 2016, has now positioned us as the leading independent provider of renal services in Spain, and a partner that the Spanish Health Authorities can trust. It has also helped for further growth of Diaverum Spain in regions in which we are not yet present and will allow that more patients benefit from our renal care services.”
