Fresenius Medical Care began in 1996 through the merger of Fresenius’ dialysis business and National Medical Care, creating a company focused on kidney care and dialysis treatment. The company provides dialysis products, dialysis services, and related renal care offerings for people with chronic kidney failure and end-stage renal disease. Fresenius Medical Care also develops equipment, supplies, and renal pharmaceuticals used in dialysis care. The business serves patients and healthcare professionals through a global kidney care platform with a broad presence across renal disease treatment and therapy support.
