Highlights 2020

Fresenius Vamed has been a reliable partner during the COVID-19 pandemic

During the pandemic, Fresenius Vamed has contributed significantly with its technical services to the continuous operation of the health care facilities it takes care of worldwide. In the project business, projects have been advanced or completed and handed over under difficult conditions. In the post-acute care facilities and thermal and health care spa resorts, concepts for the protection of patients and guests were developed and implemented at an early stage. In phases, health care facilities have also been placed in the service of public health in coordination with the authorities and kept available for COVID-19 patients and other people in need of care.

Continued robust development of high-end technical ­services despite the COVID-19 pandemic
COVID-19-related impacts on project business and total operational management

Fresenius Vamed’s international project business and the acquisition of new orders have been strongly impacted by severe international travel restrictions, partial disruptions of supply chains, and restrictions on funds from donor countries. The need for investment in health care infrastructure nevertheless remains. Furthermore, the COVID-19 pandemic led to lower demand for rehabilitation services due to postponed elective surgeries.
