Fresenius Helios recently opened a 130-bed building at the company’s hospital in Dachau, a city near Munich. The new structure is part of a €55 million renovation and expansion program that will include a modernization of the existing hospital building over the next two years. Meanwhile, in the northern German city of Nienburg/Weser, work has started on a building that will almost double the size of the emergency department at Fresenius Hospital Mittelweser. About €2.3 million is being invested in this project, which is scheduled for completion in the autumn.
