Brian Murphy, CEO of NanoVibronix, stated, “This new contract with NHS Supply Chain provides dedicated end-to-end supply chain service of our UroShield for every NHS healthcare organization. UroShield will be available to all patients who the need the device with full clinical support, through the NHS supply chain.

NHS Supply Chain manages the sourcing, delivery and supply of healthcare products and services for NHS trusts and healthcare organizations across England and Wales. The organization processes more than eight million orders per year across 94,000 order points and 17,465 locations serving as an integral part of the national healthcare system in the U.K. We are ramping up production to meet an increase in demand that we anticipate as a result of this exciting development.”
