Support from Physidia
The courage of a patient is permanent. To be able to accompany and share it with him/her for a short period of time is an opportunity that makes sense for all other patients with similar conditions.
Our support as a partner allows us to relay the vision, the reality and the hope to all patients with kidney failure who are likely to undergo dialysis therapy, especially home hemodialysis.
LET’S RELAY TOGETHER THE PATIENT’S ADVENTURE, SYNONYMOUS WITH COURAGE AND HOPE
