DaVita, the Denver-based kidney-care provider, has forged its second international deal this month and will enter the dialysis market in Taiwan.
International expansion has been a growing focus for DaVita as the dialysis sector continues to feel the strain from reimbursement cuts in the U.S.
The company said in a news release that it plans to service four dialysis clinics in Taiwan through a joint venture with Riches Healthcare that will form a new entity known as DaVita Taiwan. The clinics are in or near Taipei and provide hemodialysis treatment to more than 250 patients, according to the release.
