New regulations provide for a regular rotation of the auditor, so Fresenius was not able to extend the existing mandate of KPMG AG Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft.
Fresenius Kabi has received a Drug Shortage Assistance Award from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The FDA recognized the role Fresenius Kabi played in helping mitigate a shortage of IV saline, specifically Sodium Chloride Injection USP, 0.9% in bags.

A recent study places Fresenius among the top 500 companies in terms of career training programs in Germany. Criteria used for judgement were the quality of supervision, in-house training, company engagement, success rate and innovative teaching methods. The companies were rated by the business magazine Capital and the internet portal, ausbildung.de. Fresenius received a best possible five-star rating for its on-the-job training and dual-studies, a combination of theory and on-the-job training, programs. The company trains more than 4,000 apprentices and dual-studies interns.
Quirónsalud, the Spanish hospital group that is part of Fresenius Helios, has acquired Clínica Medellín and entered the attractive private hospital market in Colombia. Clínica Medellín operates two centrally located hospitals in Medellín, a major city of 2.5 million people. The two facilities have a total of about 185 beds. The total investment for Clínica Medellín is more than €50 million. Following Quirónsalud's entry into Peru last year, this is another step in strengthening the company’s presence in Latin America’s growing and consolidating hospital markets. Fresenius Helios expects the transaction to close in Q1 2019, pending anti-trust and regulatory clearance.
Fresenius Kabi has opened a new state-of-the-art compounding center in Canada. It involves an investment of 11 million Canadian dollars (more than €7 million), and the new site expands the company’s presence in Mississauga, Ontario.

The new facility is expected to employ 70 people by 2022.
Fresenius Kabi has reached a milestone on the road to approval for another biosimilar. MSB11455, a biosimilar candidate for Neulasta® (pegfilgrastim), has met its primary endpoints in the two pivotal clinical studies. For more information please see the website of Fresenius Kabi.
