Helping kidney patients live their best life
"Kidney patients deserve better care. We created this company to achieve that."
Niklas Best
CEO & Co-Founder, Oska Health
Our story
We - the founders of Oska - have all experienced the complex care of kidney patients first hand.
We have been working for the biggest kidney care providers in the world and know where the problems are. The current approach requires a rethink.

Today's situation
We have seen the reality of dialysis in clinics and understand the impact it has on patients’ lives.
Often they wished they acted earlier to protect their kidneys.

It's time for change
Evidence shows that complications caused by kidney disease are often preventable if people receive the right support and change their health behaviour.
Patients are lacking the support at home to deal with their complex disease and initiate kidney protecting lifestyle changes.
It's time to fix kidney care.
It's time for Oska.

"What I like most about working at Oska is our mission of helping people and working in a team that is totally behind it."
