The 2025 Diaverum for Health Challenge was a tremendous success, with a record-breaking 5,906 colleagues from across our global network taking part in 275 activities. Guided by our five pillars of well-being – social, mental, environmental, intellectual and physical – teams came together to inspire healthier habits, strengthen connections, and celebrate wellness in all its forms.
The Diaverum Well-being Committee reviewed applications from across the business and selected the top teams in four categories: Most Creative; Most Fun; Best Team Spirit; and Most Inclusive. In addition, we recognised the country with the highest percentage of colleagues taking part in this year’s Challenge.
We’re delighted to share the winners of the Diaverum for Health Challenge 2025:
- Most Creative: Team ‘Ajvar’ from the Delčevo clinic, North Macedonia, for their inspired celebration of local heritage by coming together to prepare traditional homemade ajvar from scratch.
- Most Fun: Lewisham Dialysis Centre clinic team, UK, for embracing the Challenge with infectious enthusiasm with a series of flash dance mobs that lit up the clinic and surrounding areas with music, laughter, and plenty of joy.

- Most Inclusive: Team ‘Volunteer Day’ from Italy, for wholeheartedly embodying the spirit of inclusion through its Volunteering Day initiative, coming together to distribute meals at a local shelter.
- Country winner: The big winner in this category was North Macedonia, with 94% of their staff taking part. Albania, Chile and Romania also received honourable mentions for their high participation numbers.
Rafael Romanini, Diaverum CEO, shared the following: “The Diaverum for Health Challenge is a moment in the year when you can truly feel our True care culture – teams across the world making time for health, connection and fun. It’s also a powerful reminder that caring for our people is essential to who we are. Congratulations to our winners, and thank you to everyone who took part and made 2025 our most successful Challenge to date.”
Patricia Fors, VP HR Europe, LatAm & Global HR Operations, added: “Well-being is personal, but it’s also something we build together. This Challenge reminds us that caring for ourselves can look like many things – supporting a colleague, doing something meaningful for the community, learning together, or simply moving more. Seeing so many colleagues join in has been wonderfully uplifting.”
Håkan Petersson, Vice President, Leadership & Culture at M42, said: “Another successful Challenge! Thank you to our Well-being Ambassadors in every market and at HQ for being instrumental in communicating the Challenge and encouraging colleagues to join – your hard work truly shines through in our record-breaking participation.”
