Qufora is a manufacturer and supplier of medical devices dedicated to enabling people with chronic bowel disorders to live a more fulfilled life, and this acquisition marks a significant next step in Qufora’s continued growth momentum and long-term strategic investments in the British healthcare market. Rapidcare is a contractor licensed by the UK’s National Health Service, specialising in the fulfilment of prescriptions for medical devices and related services issued by GPs and specialist prescribers, with a strong reputation for reliable home delivery to patients in the community supporting a wide range of chronic healthcare needs. Qufora and Rapidcare have enjoyed a strong strategic partnership for many years with Rapidcare providing the Qufora Direct service which enables patients to receive optimal service through the delivery of Qufora bowel management products as well as a broad range of educational and training offerings aimed at enhancing patient outcomes and satisfaction. “This acquisition brings the existing strong collaboration we’ve developed with Rapidcare over many years into the Qufora group. It’s part of how we’re continuing to focus on what matters most – further strengthening our support to patients. With Rapidcare we share a commitment to providing the best possible service for people to smoothly transition into everyday life with a medical device, ” says Lena Ehmsen Lachenmeier, CEO of Qufora and adds: “With our UK growth trajectory, it’s a natural next step for us to take greater ownership of distribution, thereby ensuring long-term patient support and supply consistency, and aligning our business model more closely with the levels of vertical integration already present in the UK market. I am really happy to welcome this experienced company into the Qufora group and look forward to starting our joint future together.” --- ![Quote icon](https://qufora.com/wp-content/uploads/quote_icon.svg) Our collaboration with Qufora has been built on years of trust and shared commitment.
