Pallmed

What Pallmed does

Pallmed sp. z o.o. is a Polish specialized healthcare services provider delivering home-based and stationary medical care for patients with life-limiting, chronic, and terminal conditions. Founded in 2018 and headquartered in Bydgoszcz, the company operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Vivisol (SOL Group), an Italian-headquartered international home-care group operating in 18 countries across 4 continents. Pallmed runs an integrated portfolio of services across all 16 Polish voivodeships with 35+ service points, including home mechanical ventilation, home enteral nutrition, home hospice for adults and children, stationary palliative care (a 37-bed unit at Dom Sue Ryder in Bydgoszcz), a 24-hour nursing home (ZOL) in Żnin with 26 beds, and the Centrum Psychoneurologii Wieku Podeszłego (Psychogeriatric Center) encompassing an outpatient clinic, day hospital, community psychiatric team, and the commercial Ośrodek Alzheimerowski.

The company deploys multidisciplinary clinical teams — physicians, nurses, physiotherapists, psychologists, dietitians, social workers — supported by its own Pallmed Academy training program, regional coordinators per service line, and vertically integrated medical equipment rental (Medseven.eu) for ventilators, suction devices, oxygen concentrators, and rehabilitation devices. Differentiated capabilities include biomarker-based neurodegenerative diagnostics (MRI 1.5T/3T, PET with specialized tracers, CSF biomarker analysis) and active coordinating-center participation in 7 clinical trials in Poland. Pallmed maintains ISO 9001 certification continuously since 2005, ISO/IEC 27001 since 2017, and implemented the WSZJiB internal quality and patient safety system in 2023 per Poland's Healthcare Quality Law.

Pallmed's revenue model is dominated by public reimbursement: the vast majority of services — home palliative care, home hospice, home mechanical ventilation, home enteral nutrition, stationary palliative care, psychogeriatric services, community psychiatric care, and ZOL medical services — are billed to Narodowy Fundusz Zdrowia (NFZ), Poland's National Health Fund, and provided free of charge to insured patients. Private-pay revenue is limited to Ośrodek Alzheimerowski diagnostic packages and Cerebrolysin IV infusions, plus patient-paid accommodation and boarding fees at the ZOL in Żnin. Scale per source commentary: approximately 3,000 patients served daily by 1,500+ to 2,500+ medical staff across Poland, with additional volume from the psychogeriatric units (~1,500 patients/6,000+ consultations per year at the clinic; 200+ at Ośrodek Alzheimerowski; ~100 community team patients; 122 day-hospital patients). No revenue figures, funding rounds, or ownership percentages are publicly disclosed.
