Joining the Pharmerit business with the OPEN Health Group establishes a new unique entity equipped to be a global leader in HEOR, market access, medical affairs and healthcare communications.

Bringing together strategic and technical expertise to build the evidence needed to demonstrate the unmet needs and the value of therapies.
- Broad in terms of the ability to offer HEOR and Medical Affairs clients a truly comprehensive suite of materials to identify and address evidence gaps and deliver world class communications across a wide range of media.
