Detailed chartLibrary
Fresenius Helios is Europe’s largest private hospital operator, offering expertise in all areas and at all levels of clinical care. It is also a provider of ambulatory care with a strong services network. Fresenius Helios carries responsibility for approximately 20 million patients who undergo medical treatment with it every year.
Highlights 2020
Swiftly and with strong commitment, Fresenius Helios made significant contributions to combat the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.
In Spain, Quirónsalud treated around 13% of the country’s total COVID-19 patients during the first wave of the pandemic. To contribute to transparency and data-based evaluation, Helios Germany publishes the bed utilization in each of its hospitals on a daily basis.
The German federal government created financial shields
to indemnify hospital providers against the suspension of elective procedures and increased costs for treating COVID-19 patients. However, the hospitals were not fully compensated for forgone treatments and increased costs. In Spain, we were compensated for additional costs related to COVID-19 patients.
Our digital health platform Curalie
offers treatment support for inpatient and ambulatory care as well as prevention.
Helios Germany acquired four hospitals and six medical care centers
from the Malteser humanitarian aid group. The facilities have a total of ~1,300 beds and had sales of about €230 million in 2019, and are an excellent fit for Fresenius Helios’ strategy of building specialized centers within regional clusters.
The acquisition of Eugin Group adds a global network of fertility clinics to Fresenius Helios.
Eugin offers substantial organic and non-organic growth opportunities. It had sales of about €160 million in 2019 and is expected to be accretive to Fresenius’ net income in 2021.
Comprehensive inpatient and outpatient care
Fresenius Helios comprises Helios Germany and Helios Spain (Quirónsalud); both are part of the holding company Helios Health.
Our extensive expertise and know-how in ensuring high-quality, efficient, and patient-focused health care are exchanged across borders. This mutual knowledge transfer aims to continuously optimize the care of our patients.

Quirónsalud operates 46 hospitals, 70 outpatient centers, and around 300 occupational risk prevention centers. It is the largest private hospital operator in Spain.
