Almeda (Munich, Germany), a subsidiary of SHL Telemedicine (Tel Aviv, Israel), has won a public tender for an 8-year contract worth EUR 16–20 million offered by Barmer GEK (Wuppertal, Germany), a health insurance company, to provide telehealth services to clients insured at Barmer. Barmer GEK was already a long-term client of Almeda's telehealth services.

SHL Telemedicine develops and markets personal telemedicine systems. Subscribers use the telephone and internet, and personal telemedicine devices to access SHL telemedicine services. SHL call centers provide information to clinicians and patients for conditions such as cardiovascular diseases. The Company operates in Israel, Germany, India, and the United States.

Erez Alroy, Co-CEO of SHL, commented: "We are delighted to have won this tender and that we can continue the partnership with Barmer GEK for many years. This is testimony of customer loyalty and the high quality of our service offering."
