What does Fresenius aim to achieve through patient education programs?

Fresenius aims to empower patients to take control of their health through patient education programs. This approach involves providing patients with the necessary knowledge and skills to understand their medical conditions, treatment options, and self-care strategies. By equipping patients with this information, they can make informed decisions about their health, adhere more effectively to treatment plans, and engage in proactive management of their conditions.

Empowerment through education ensures that patients feel more confident in their health journey, which can lead to better adherence to treatment and improvement in health outcomes. This aligns with the broader goal of fostering patient independence and enhancing their ability to advocate for their own needs within the healthcare system. Educated patients are more likely to engage in discussions with their healthcare providers, leading to collaborative care that respects the patient's knowledge and preferences.
