Hello everybody !
Please accept an opinion as a new one here (this is my first post on this forum) I live in Romania (70 % is Fresenius & "satellites" on dialysis market of my country), I hear many times (doctors, nurses, technicians) if you make a new acquisition is better to chose the "majority" . Choose the company well top representative in your country or in your area. The advantage could come for sure.
Other advice (I work 2 years in a Diaverum mixed dialysis clinic 20 units HD AK96 Gambro and 18 -old fashion - 4008S Fresenius units with Culligan RO) choose only one company for all HD & RO
I read a post (Neil Porter) who complain about FMC Service on Jeddah Saudi Arabia, I'd like to tell that 2015 - 2017 it will be one of the big developer of FMC in area (Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar) info is from inside (I was working 14 years in the past on FMC Romania, I know better the responsible manager of this project)
At last, but very important in my opinion, please considered a long time price not only the starting price (it's well known that Fresenius devices have a low defect rate compares Bbraun)
PS. I look always on "Recruitment issues" on this forum, if any choose Fresenius for all, I'd like to work a few years on UAE or Saudi A.(UK not excluded)
