We need to prevent theft, spoilage, and destruction.
The Partnership for Safe Medicines estimates that losses within the pharmaceutical supply chain from theft alone exceed US $30 Billion per year, with an average loss per claim of US $3.78 Million1.
As the World Bank points out, the process of scaling up presents opportunities for substandard quality control, price exploitation, and outright forgery. 2
As just an example, the COVID-19 vaccines are complex and fragile. It has never been more important to protect sensitive medical cargo, especially these vaccines, during the COVID-19 pandemic.
We can help pharmaceutical companies, medical supply chain partners, and insurers determine the best way to ensure correct:
- temperature for varied requirements of cold storage and transport,
- unique specifications for transport vessels,
- temperature, and
- shock tolerance.
Then, once deployed to a theater of health operations, validate that the supply chain adheres to
- unique and specific thawing,
- unit dose distribution,
- and administration timelines.
We can help make these mission-critical operations more successful and prevent theft, spoilage, and destruction.
