Fresenius Medical Care, the world's leading provider of products and services for individuals with renal diseases, today announced changes to the Management Board effective on January 1, 2022. They follow a unanimous decision by the Supervisory Board of Fresenius Medical Care Management AG to adapt the composition of the Management Board to the company’s new operating model, which is being launched in 2023.
The new, globally operating Care Delivery segment, in which the company is combining its global healthcare services business, will be led by William Valle (61), currently CEO of Fresenius Medical Care North America. Dr. Katarzyna Mazur-Hofsäß (58), currently CEO of the Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) region, will take over responsibility for the new, globally operating Care Enablement segment, in which Fresenius Medical Care is consolidating its previously decentralized healthcare products business under a global MedTech umbrella.
Rice Powell (66) will continue to serve as Fresenius Medical Care’s CEO, and the Global Medical Office will continue to be led by Franklin W. Maddux, MD (64). Chief Financial Officer Helen Giza (53) will be taking on the additional role of Chief Transformation Officer.
Harry de Wit (59), CEO for Asia-Pacific, Kent Wanzek (62), CEO for Global Manufacturing, Quality and Supply (GMQS), and Dr. Olaf Schermeier (49), CEO for Global Research and Development, will move from the Fresenius Medical Care Management Board to the Fresenius Medical Care Executive Committee.
During the transition phase, Harry de Wit will continue leading the business in the Asia-Pacific region and take on additional responsibility for EMEA. Kent Wanzek will continue to have responsibility for GMQS, with a focus on the full transition of its activities into the new Care Enablement organization. Dr. Olaf Schermeier will take over the leadership of the Critical Care business and Fresenius Medical Care Ventures, two of the company’s most important growth areas within the Care Enablement segment. All three will be reporting to Dr. Katarzyna Mazur-Hofsäß. In 2022, the current country organizations will be mapped, and will subsequently be transitioned to the new operating model.
Stephan Sturm, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Fresenius Medical Care Management AG, said: “The Supervisory Board fully supports the upcoming reorganization as it will strengthen Fresenius Medical Care and lay the foundations for the company’s continued, successful development. Our special thanks and respect go to Harry de Wit, Kent Wanzek and Olaf Schermeier. They have made valuable contributions on the Management Board over the years, and now stand ready to assume responsibility in new roles. On behalf of the Supervisory Board, I wish the entire management team and our employees every success, as we build new and robust organizational structures that will stand the test of time.”
Rice Powell, CEO of Fresenius Medical Care, said: “2022 will be a significant year of transition as we move toward our new operating model as a leaner, and at the same time stronger, basis for executing our growth strategy. I look forward to the continued cooperation with our leadership team and all Fresenius Medical Care colleagues. It is a lot of work to make this work, but I’m sure that with the new operating model and the resulting changes we are setting the course for a successful future for Fresenius Medical Care – for the benefit of all the company’s stakeholders.”

Fresenius Medical Care, the world's leading provider of products and services for individuals with renal diseases, is launching a new dialyzer for hemodialysis, the FX CorAL®. Focal points of the new dialyzer’s development were clinical performance and hemocompatibility. The FX CorAL is already available in Switzerland and will be gradually introduced in Germany, France, Italy and the United Arab Emirates. Other countries in the company’s Europe, Middle East and Africa region will follow.
Dialysis patients often suffer from chronic inflammation caused by the accumulation of toxic substances and the regular contact of their blood with external substances. These inflammations reduce patients’ quality of life and contribute to the onset of cardiovascular diseases. The core of the new FX CorAL is its new Helixone® hydro membrane, which forms a special gel-like layer of water on the surface of the inner membrane that reduces protein adsorption while the blood is being cleaned. This is to achieve a lower induction of the immune response in the patient while maintaining high selective permeability for the removal of toxins and excess water.
Dr. Olaf Schermeier, Fresenius Medical Care’s Chief Executive Officer for Global Research & Development, said: “The well-being of our patients is at the heart of everything we do at Fresenius Medical Care. Combining clinical performance with hemocompatibility is a central element of our patient centered dialysis: It was with precisely this goal that we developed the new FX CorAL.”
Dr. Katarzyna Mazur-Hofsäß, Chief Executive Officer for Fresenius Medical Care’s Europe, Middle East and Africa region, said: “We at Fresenius Medical Care are proud that every day we help to improve the lives of people with chronic kidney disease. We work continuously to further improve treatment quality for our patients. The launch of the new FX CorAL dialyzer in the EMEA region is another important step in this direction.”
The FX CorAL is the newest dialyzer in Fresenius Medical Care’s FX class of dialyzers, which use polysulfone, a special plastic with exceptional filtering and hemocompatibility characteristics. The special structure of the dialyzer’s fibers ensures that the dialysis fluid washes evenly around each fiber, improving clearance. A lateral blood inlet port prevents the bloodline from kinking during use, enabling a more homogenous blood flow and making treatment safer. In addition, all FX-class dialyzers are steam-sterilized and, owing to their light material, environmentally friendly. After receiving the CE-mark, the FX CorAL was introduced in Fresenius Medical Care’s NephroCare clinics and has already been used in more than 3 million treatments.
In hemodialysis, the dialyzer acts as an artificial kidney and takes over vital functions of the natural organ. Blood flows through as many as 20,000 extremely fine fibers, known as capillaries, which are clustered in a plastic tube approximately 30 centimeters (12 inches) long. Metabolic toxins and excess water are filtered from the blood through these capillaries, and then flushed out of the body with dialysis fluid. Blood cells and vital proteins, however, remain in the blood. This treatment is usually administered three times a week and lasts three to six hours per treatment.
About 43 percent of all dialyzers sold worldwide come from Fresenius Medical Care’s development and production sites.

Quirónsalud, the largest private hospital group in Spain and part of Fresenius Helios, has signed agreements to acquire Centro Oncológico de Antioquia (COA) and Clínica Clofán, further expanding the company’s presence in Colombia. The clinics, located in Colombia's second largest city Medellín, will become part of Quirónsalud’s existing healthcare network in the country, which already comprises six hospitals and ten diagnostic centers.
COA is specialized in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. It has 75 beds, four operating rooms, and specialized centers for nuclear medicine, radiotherapy and bone marrow transplants. Clínica Clofán is the second largest ophthalmic center in the city, with ten operating rooms and further dedicated facilities for treating even severe ophthalmic diseases and performing complex procedures.
Both clinics offer state-of-the-art medical standards and technology to their patients and are regarded as leading medical facilities with highly renowned physicians. Together they generate sales of around €30 million.
The acquisition is another important step in strengthening Fresenius Helios’ presence in the growing and consolidating healthcare services markets in Latin America.
The transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2022, pending anti-trust clearance of the Colombian authorities. Fresenius Helios expects the acquisition to be accretive to Fresenius’ Group net income already in fiscal year 2022.
