Medical and scientific publisher Karger Publishers has acquired UK-based Health Press Ltd in a move to strengthen its clinical decision support business. This acquisition complements Karger's German-based activities in translating knowledge from scientific research to clinical practice.
Health Press Ltd is an award-winning, multi-platform information service for the medical community, providing premium content to improve medical practice. Founded by Sarah Redston in 1993, Health Press has since established three brands: the medical handbook series Fast Facts, illustrated guides to medical conditions and concerns Patient Pictures, and the consumer web product www.embarrassingproblems.com. All three brands serve the goal of promoting health through communication with a global network of medical practitioners and patients.
The financial terms of the deal have not been disclosed.
