B. Braun Cares Program Paves the Way to Help Indigent Hemodialysis Treatment

Living with dialysis can be a huge burden to many people – more so when financial struggles mean regular treatment isn’t possible. The health of indigent dialysis patients is threatened with each treatment missed. Not knowing how and where to seek financial assistance makes their circumstances doubly challenging.

With B. Braun Cares program, the objective is to loosen up the burden that the patients experience every day by hiring social workers. The team is responsible for bridging the gap to address the medical needs of indigent patients helping process financial assistance from different government institutions such as the Department of Social Welfare and Development, Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office, the Office of the Vice President, and the Office of the President.

Dialysis center maintains country’s first and only ISO certification

B. Braun Avitum has been recertified with ISO 9001:2015
 for quality management system (QMS), the global
benchmark for organizations in continuous improvement,
consistent provision of products and services
that meet customer and regulatory requirements.

Leading renal healthcare provider B. Braun Avitum has been certified ISO 9001:2015 after a thorough audit of its quality management system (QMS). 

B. Braun Avitum received the certification after going through the remote audit conducted by third party auditor TUV Rheinland last November 2020 despite the challenges of auditing in a pandemic. 

The company’s dialysis centers have been ISO 9001-certified since 2004, and continue to be the only free standing dialysis centers in the country that are ISO certified. The renewed ISO certification is valid from 2021 to 2024
