ABOUT DESIDERIUS CONSULTING
Trusted advice for complex healthcare decisions
DESIDERIUS CONSULTING is an independent boutique advisory firm specialising in healthcare financing, economics and business strategy.
We help pharmaceutical and MedTech companies, healthcare providers, investors and public institutions better understand healthcare systems, evaluate strategic options and make informed business decisions across Central and Eastern Europe.
WHY CLIENTS CHOOSE DESIDERIUS
Healthcare decisions are rarely driven by a single factor.
They are shaped by financing, economics, regulation, organisational priorities and the interests of multiple stakeholders.
Understanding these different perspectives is essential for making sound business decisions.
DESIDERIUS was founded on the belief that effective advice requires more than analytical expertise. It requires practical experience, independent thinking and a genuine understanding of how healthcare systems work in everyday practice.
A BROADER PERSPECTIVE
One of our greatest strengths is the ability to understand healthcare challenges from multiple perspectives.
Our experience spans:
- Healthcare administration
- Public health insurance
- Healthcare providers
- Corporate finance and controlling
- International healthcare projects
- Collaboration with the pharmaceutical and MedTech industries
This enables us to provide practical, evidence-based advice that reflects not only how healthcare systems are designed, but also how decisions are made in practice.
OUR APPROACH
Every organisation is different.
Rather than applying standard consulting frameworks, we build each engagement around the client's specific objectives, combining analytical expertise with practical recommendations that can be implemented in real healthcare environments.
We believe that the best business decisions in healthcare are based on evidence, not assumptions.

- Long-term professional relationships
WHERE WE WORK

THE PERSON BEHIND DESIDERIUS CONSULTING

Davor Katavić
Founder and CEO
Davor is a healthcare financing and business strategy expert with more than 20 years of professional experience spanning healthcare administration, public health insurance, hospital governance, corporate finance and international advisory projects.
Throughout his career, he has worked with healthcare institutions, pharmaceutical and MedTech companies, international organisations and public authorities on projects involving healthcare financing, market access, health economics, business performance and healthcare policy.
His work focuses on helping organisations make better business decisions through evidence-based analysis, financial expertise and a practical understanding of healthcare systems.
Having worked across different business areas, he brings a perspective that few healthcare advisors can offer and understands how different stakeholders evaluate the same business decision – whether they are healthcare providers, payers, public institutions, investors or the pharmaceutical and MedTech industries.
