Everyone deserves a fulfilling life. That’s why we’re dedicated to enhancing the lives of renal patients.

CKD is a global and escalating challenge today affecting about 10% of the world’s adult population. It’s primarily caused by lifestyle diseases such as diabetes, and its prevalence is increasing, particularly in developing countries and among low income individuals.

We provide services tailored to patients’ needs and choices, offering a portfolio of treatments ranging from preventive care, haemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis and home care, to coordination of patients’ comorbidities and holiday dialysis.

At the heart of what we do is our highly standardised proprietary care delivery model, supported by a continuously evolving digital infrastructure and a culture of True care. Together, these ensure a benchmark dialysis service delivered with high consistency to every patient in each of our clinics worldwide. We stand out because we offer unique value, both to our patients and to national healthcare systems.
