OPEN Health, a health communications and market access group, has announced the integration of Pharmerit International into its network of companies.
Pharmerit International is an expert in health economics and outcomes research (HEOR), and the integration of the company into the OPEN Health group establishes a new entity that will have capabilities in HEOR, market access, medical affairs and healthcare communications.
The integration will also expand OPEN Health’s global footprint and capabilities – Pharmerit has offices in Berlin, Bethesda, Boston, Mumbai, New York, Rotterdam, York and Shanghai.
This means OPEN Health will now have 700 employees in 15 offices across six countries including the US, UK, The Netherlands, Germany, India and China.
“We are delighted to welcome Pharmerit into the OPEN Health family – this is a key strategic integration – that will both enhance our global HEOR offering and also our global Medical Affairs Platform,” said Sandy Royden (pictured left), chief operating officer at OPEN Health.
“OPEN Health now has a unique mix of offerings and opportunities for innovation, to support industry changes and growth,” she added.
In addition to gaining an expertise in HEOR, the integration of Pharmerit will provide OPEN Health with a highly-skilled and diverse team working across the world, to offer clients innovative solutions.
“We are very excited about Pharmerit joining the OPEN Health family. The two organisations have many synergies and fill important gaps for each other,” said Jenny Stephens, partner at Phermerit International.
“By combining our capabilities and expertise, we will increase our global presence and expand the services we offer clients today,” she added.
