Social and Governance Sustainability at Work
We have collaborated with organisations around the world to improve healthcare access for low- and middle-income populations.
1. Enabling Healthcare Infrastructure
We help lower income countries implement logistics solutions so they can receive, store, distribute and administer critical vaccines and commodities.
2. Developing Last Mile Solutions
We consult with non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and ministries of health on last mile delivery solutions that help close the gap between healthcare commodities and the people who need them.
3. Delivering to Remote Locations
Our UAV (drone) delivery programmes can help get pharmaceuticals, vaccines, and other health commodities to harder-to-reach populations.
4. Safeguarding Biological Samples
We collaborate with ministries of health and NGOs to redesign supply chains and use of technology to support biological sample handling.
5. Implementing Visibility Solutions
We work to implement tracking and monitoring technology solutions that enhance visibility in the low-resource areas we serve.
6. Continuously Improving Logistics
We collaborate with procurement agents, donors and ministries of health to continuously enhance humanitarian logistics solutions for HIV, malaria and reproductive health programs in low-income countries.
