Swedish-founded renal care provider operating one of the largest private dialysis networks in Portugal — 29 treatment centres caring for 3,600+ patients with 1,000+ staff nationwide.
Diaverum operates one of the largest private renal care networks in Portugal: 29 dialysis treatment centres caring for more than 3,600 patients every year, with over 1,000 staff providing haemodialysis and related renal services across the country. The network is distributed across three regions — 12 clinics in the North, 4 in the Centre (including a recent addition in Sertã) and 11 across Lisbon and the Tagus Valley (including a new Odivelas centre).
Beyond standard treatment, Diaverum Portugal runs a Holiday Dialysis Program that allows patients to continue dialysis while travelling within Portugal and internationally — a service that positions Portuguese clinics as part of a global care network spanning 20+ countries. Multidisciplinary teams cover nephrology, nutrition, psychology and social support for chronic kidney disease patients.
Diaverum is one of the longest-standing and largest Nordic-origin operators in Portuguese private healthcare. Although the company was acquired by UAE-based M42 in 2022, its Swedish origin (tracing back to Gambro’s dialysis services spin-off in Lund) and Nordic corporate DNA remain central to its identity. It is a clear example of how Nordic healthcare know-how has scaled inside Portugal and built lasting national infrastructure — and a reference point for other Nordic healthcare operators evaluating the Portuguese market.
