Mediq, the European health care products and service partner for healthcare consumers, professionals and institutions, has acquired H&R Healthcare Ltd. A recognized leader in distribution of wound care products, H&R Healthcare significantly strengthens Mediq’s footprint in the UK. “Mediq is constantly innovating and investing in collaboration with healthcare providers to enable people with an illness or chronic health condition to live their lives on their own terms,” says Mediq Chief Executive Christian Wojczewski. “H&R Healthcare is the fastest growing distributor of our own brand wound care products. We look forward to working with their management and employees to provide the primary and secondary care market with the best possible products and services, specialist education and support.”
“Mediq and H&R Healthcare share a passion for delivering innovation to drive improved patient outcomes while simultaneously lowering the cost of delivering healthcare. Another thing that we have in common is our focus on outstanding products that meet patients’ needs and offer excellent value to the NHS”, adds Mike Hoskins, managing director of H&R Healthcare. “This transaction allows H&R Healthcare to grow its business in existing markets and expand in markets such as ostomy and continence care. Also, we will leverage and build upon our mutual wound care expertise to support the ongoing education of clinicians within the medical sector and develop new innovations that improve the health and well-being of patients.”
