UPS? Premier Platinum brings a new shine to healthcare logistics
Biologics are widely viewed as the future of healthcare. This exciting frontier in treatments promises healing for a host of illnesses, especially modern killers like cancer, diabetes, and heart disease.
On top of their medicinal properties, these products are rare and valuable.
The emerging cell and gene therapies, for example, can be one-of-a-kind treatments. They’re developed from a patient’s unique organic material, then customized to treat that person’s specific medical condition. A single dose of such precious medicines can cost more than a million dollars.
The logistics challenge is that biologics and new cell and gene therapies must be kept at exacting low temperatures from manufacturing facility to distribution center to patient. The efficacy of these medicines … and the health of patients … wholly depends on the quality of the cold chain and network delivering them.
