Live-streamed from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, the Awards saw a total of six winners recognised from a final pool of 20 finalists. They were:

  • Passion: Dr Alexandra Torres, Head of Pharmacy, Diaverum Portugal, was awarded for touching the hearts and minds of patients and work colleagues alike, with her unwavering passion for delivering True care. Committed, inspirational and always with a smile on her face, Alexandra doesn’t take ‘no’ for an answer when trying to solve problems. It’s for these reasons and many more that she was the recipient of multiple nominations from her colleagues during the nominations phase.

  • Inspiration: this category had two winners; Issa Jebril Alzhify, Patient Assistant from Diaverum Saudi Arabia and Raúl Orihuela, Nurse with Diaverum Spain. Issa started caring for patients with Diaverum in 2016, to shortly after he himself was diagnosed with renal failure. Ever since, Issa has worked his way into being an example of living a fulfilling life with CKD, working and supporting patients while receiving dialysis treatment himself. Raúl created the "Caregiver School" - an unique initiative in Spain that is comprised of a CKD-specific health literacy programme for caregivers and of patient relatives.

  • True care: Dr Domingos Machado, Global / Portugal was recognised for his lifelong dedication to improving the lives of renal patients, which is no secret to anyone who knows him. Deeply driven by True care, Domingos made a life-changing decision a few years ago – he put himself forward as a kidney donor to an anonymous renal patient, a noble deed that materialised last year.
