At Affidea, our culture is built around people. In a brief conversation, Eduardo Blazquez Gomez, Chief HR Officer at Affidea Group, reflects on a belief central to who we are: exceptional patient starts with the people who deliver it.

At Affidea, starts with listening.

As José Antonio Estellés Trenco, Director of Dentistry Operations at Affidea Spain, shares, truly patient-centred care means being close to people, understanding their individual needs, and ensuring that every patient receives the care that is right for them.

Not every part of the care journey happens on a scan, in a consultation room, or through a procedure. Often, it starts with a conversation.

In this video, Juozas Kupčiūnas, physiotherapist at Affidea Lietuva (Lithuania), speaks about what it really takes to support a patient through recovery, understanding their fears, building , and staying alongside them through every high and low of the journey.

Because healing is rarely linear. It requires more than clinical expertise. It requires teams who listen, who align, and who know how to meet each patient where they are.

At Affidea, this is how we deliver . Through multi-disciplinary teams that combine medical excellence with a deep understanding of the individual behind every case. This is what personalised care looks like in practice.

Not a concept, but something patients feel, every step of the way. 💙

Affidea continues to expand its integrated care model in Switzerland with the acquisition of Berner Urologen AG, a well-established urology practice with locations in Bern and Langenthal.

This step goes beyond footprint growth. It strengthens our ability to deliver end-to-end urology pathways, from advanced diagnostics to highly specialised day-surgery care within a coordinated, out-of-hospital setting closer to patients.

Berner Urologen brings strong clinical expertise across diagnostic assessments, conservative treatments, and complex procedures, including robot-assisted and microsurgical techniques. Combined with our existing Uroviva network across Zurich, Zug, Lucerne and Solothurn, this enables a more seamless patient journey, connecting , and follow-up within one integrated system.

“Berner Urologen AG is an excellent fit for Affidea Switzerland and represents an important step in the further development of our urology network. With this acquisition, we are strategically expanding our outpatient medical services and strengthening our presence in the Bern region,” says Marc-André Christinat, CEO of Affidea Switzerland.

Dr Charles Niehaus, Executive Director of the Affidea Group, added: “This acquisition reflects how we are continuing to evolve our model of , expanding our network of leading collaborative clinicians, moving beyond standalone services towards fully integrated, patient-centred pathways. In urology, this means connecting early diagnostics, specialist expertise and treatment within one coordinated ecosystem, improving both clinical outcomes and patient experience. Switzerland is a key market for Affidea, and this step strengthens our ability to scale high-quality, out-of-hospital care in a structured and sustainable way across Europe.”

defines how we deliver healthcare every day.

In this video, Sweetnam, Consultant Knee Surgeon at Affidea’s Fortius Clinic in the UK, speaks to a simple but powerful truth: patients should never feel like numbers in a system. They should feel seen, understood, and confident that they are in a place that will truly look after them.

This is what it means to personalise . To shape every interaction around the individual, to listen with intent, to build trust through consistency, and to combine clinical excellence with a genuine human connection.

Because better healthcare is not only about what we deliver, it is about how people experience it. And that experience should always reflect one thing: that every person who walks through our door matters.

Affidea's CEO highlighted the structural forces accelerating this transformation across Europe — ageing populations, the rise of chronic diseases, increasing pressure on hospital capacity, and patients’ expectations for faster, more accessible, high-quality care delivered closer to home.

As Guy Blomfield noted: “The future of healthcare lies closer to patients. Across Europe, we are seeing a clear shift toward integrated, out-of-hospital driven by the need to expand capacity, improve , and respond to rising patient expectations. When care is better coordinated and delivered closer to communities, it becomes more , more efficient, and ultimately delivers better outcomes while supporting the long-term sustainability of healthcare systems.”

On World Health Day, we are reminded that the true measure of progress in is not the advancement of technology alone, but the outcomes and experiences we deliver for every patient we serve. At Affidea, this principle is central to our mission as we operate across the entire patient pathway, from prevention and early detection to precise treatment and follow-up.

This means strengthening the key dimensions of by combining clinical excellence with a commitment to consistency, reducing variability through strong clinical governance, and ensuring that every patient moves through their care journey in a connected and timely way.

"Exceptional are never the result of a single medical act. They are delivered through the seamless collaboration between specialist doctors, radiologists, technicians, and clinical staff, all working within integrated pathways and aligned around a shared objective: achieving the best possible outcome and experience for each patient. Our responsibility is to ensure that scientific progress—from AI to genetics—is integrated into daily clinical practice in a standardised and safe way that translates into real benefit." — Dr. Alessandro Roncacci

Delivering this level of care at scale requires more than just teamwork; it demands robust clinical leadership and a constant evolution of our care pathways. By investing in the continuous education of our medical professionals and fostering an environment where sub-specialisation can thrive, we ensure that clinical excellence is not just achieved, but sustained.

On this World Health Day, we extend our deepest gratitude to our clinical and administrative teams across all markets for their passion, dedication and professionalism and the way they care for each patient, every day!

Happy World Health Day!
