Committed to people – on their life journey

People are the focal point of our business activity. Our promise is Committed to Life. This means that we accompany people in all phases of their lives – sometimes even throughout their life journey. Our focus is firmly on respectful collaboration as equals, and an understanding for their differing needs in various stages of life.

We want to provide access to high-quality healthcare for as many people as possible. In the wake of the digital transformation, we are increasingly focusing on innovative treatment offerings that allow us to reach even more people. The well-being and safety of patients is always the top priority for everything we do. That’s why we offer them medical treatments and products that meet strict quality and safety requirements.

Our workforce of 190,000 employees are those people who fulfil our promise of Committed to Life, and put it into practice every day, whether it’s in direct contact with patients, relatives, and business partners, or behind the scenes in administrative roles and production. In order to support our employees, we provide them with a rich array of opportunities for jobs and career development, and attractive benefits. Our aim is to be the employer of choice now and for the future in the fiercely competitive healthcare market.

Millions of people entrust us with their most valuable asset: their health. We are a reliable partner at their side. We accompany them throughout their lives. Because people are much more than just their illness.
