EuroKing faces liquidation

Tags: A   Euroking   iS   Maternity  

02 Nov 2009

Maternity systems supplier EuroKing Miracle Limited looks set to be liquidated.

HM Revenue and Customs filed a petition to wind up the company at the High Court of Justice's Chancery Division in September.

The London Gazette has just published a notice saying that the case will be heard next week.

EuroKing enjoyed considerable success as a provider of specialist maternity systems to NHS trusts.

The major selling point of EuroKing’s web-based E3 system was that it produced a record for mother and baby together, and separately for the baby alone. The company claimed its Connect2 platform allowed the MIS to be tailored to existing workflow patterns.

Trusts that signed up to take E3 over the past two years included Barking, Newcastle University Hospitals, Medway, Frimley Park Hospital, University Hospitals of Leicester and King's College London.

EuroKing’s founder Jonathan Raife left the company he led for 12 years in November 2008, to set up Health Net Connections. This is now the official distributor of GE Healthcare’s Viewpoint and TriumCTG software.

Industry sources suggest that EuroKing has been struggling for some time.

Their web site says they are being sold to Healthcare Software Systems Ltd (as of todays date 3rd November 2009).

It would be nice to see confirmation

Sale of the company is more encouraging than liquidation.  It would be nice to see a similar statement on the HSS website.

Smokescreen??

If the petition was served in early September how come this is the first that any Euroking users have heard about this. Is all this talk about a takeover only because eHealth Insider has published details of the winding up petition?

If Euroking have known about this for 2 months then why do we only find out today via eHealth?

Well done eHealth!
