Who We Are
The Avesina Group was founded more than 20 years ago as a pioneer within the field of healthcare services.
With a strong belief in leveraging technology to strengthen the patients’ individual choices, increase quality and patient safety, Avesina was one if the first within the industry to digitalize its services. By doing so the group was able to implement a holistic perspective throughout the whole healthcare chain, increase accessibility and profitability to boost rapid growth.
Equality, inclusion and personal development formed the core of the company’s culture which fostered creativity and a unified vision to improve the healthcare system. During the 20 years that Shori Zand built Avesina together with her sons Emad and Daniel, who joined the family business in the expansion phase, Avesina drove change, national healthcare reforms and implemented new innovative solutions that became golden standard within the industry.

The Avesina Health Care Group was founded in 2000 with a clear vision to individualize care and care services according to patients’ needs and to integrate technology in healthcare services to achieve an innovative, efficient and suitable care process.
