"Fresenius Medical Care" immediately filed a report against unknown assailants with the state prosecutor in Germany. The company is ready to fully cooperate with the competent authorities. In addition, the company will contact patients affected by the illegal publication of data", the statement said.

The company's business in Serbia continues and patient care is ensured.

"The company deeply regrets the attack on the privacy of some patients, and does everything to prevent the publication of further data and further damage caused to the affected patients. Internal and external experts are continuously working to prevent further potential attacks or unauthorized access to data", Fresenius said.
