Air Liquide (AL) is continuing to develop its home healthcare business in Europe with the acquisition of Betamed, a major home healthcare provider in Poland.

This acquisition enables AL to strengthen its presence in Poland and to expand its range of services to support patients suffering from complex forms of chronic diseases.

Founded in 2001, Betamed supports 5,000 patients, and also runs a specialised clinic with over 100 beds for dependent patients, both adults and children. In 2020, Betamed generated revenue of nearly 25 million euros.

The acquisition of Betamed marks a new stage in the development of its home healthcare business in Poland, as it enables AL to offer its patients a broader, more diversified and complementary range of services across the entire care pathway, through an extended geographical presence.
