Overland Park, KS-based ProPharma Group, a comprehensive compliance services company serving the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and medical device industries, has acquired PROSAR, a provider of pharmacovigilance and medical information services.

· Round-the-clock medical information inquiry support in the Americas, Europe, Middle East, and Asia-Pacific
· 24/7 contact centers for intake of adverse events and product complaints
· Medical writing, including standard response letters, AMCP dossiers and aggregate safety reports
Following the acquisition, Steve Swantek, CEO of PROSAR, and Ann Claridge, COO of PROSAR, will continue as key leaders in the ProPharma Group organization. “We believe that integrating our global pharmacovigilance services with PI ARM’s global medical information services creates significant additional value for our clients,” said Steve Swantek.
