Ertapenem, an antibiotic, expands Fresenius Kabi's anti-infective portfolio.

Fresenius Helios has awarded its inaugural Helios-Pro-Inno Prize for outstanding innovation and projects in patient care and hospital management. Three different projects at Helios Wuppertal, Helios Berlin-Buch and Helios Bad Saarow hospitals in Germany were honored: A color and lighting concept that demonstrably improved the well-being of intensive care patients and even reduced their need for certain medications; the appointment of a “Feel Good Manager” for resolving employees’ problems in the workplace, and an antibiotics reporting system developed in response to the growing threat from multi-resistant bacteria. A jury of eight members, from different occupational groups, chose the Helios-Pro-Inno Prize winners from more than 70 entries.
