EUCARE has an established brand equity nationwide and built proprietary key account management targeting key hospital markets (corporate, public and military) with a strong distribution network.  EUCARE has a long and distinguished history, a reputation for quality products and a loyal customer base. EUCARE will benefit from world-expert in advanced wound care URGO Group’s global network and expertise in Innovation and pathology focused therapeutic offer.

EUCARE and URGO will dedicate their joint efforts to work hand in hand with Public & Private hospitals to set higher standards for wound care treatments provided to patients across the country.  By creating treatment tailored to each wound type, increasing education and awareness, EUCARE and URGO aim at becoming the Caring partner to all major hospitals across the country.

“We are excited to set foot in India with the support and experience of our new Partner. EUCARE is a partner with strong market presence, manufacturing, regulatory and R&D capabilities… URGO will now be able to provide its internationally recognized and scientifically proven TLC based wound dressing concepts to all Indian Patients” said Pierre Moustial, URGO Group General Director.
