What is New? UPS Healthcare facility in Miami has received the CEIV Pharma certification.
Why It Matters: This achievement underscores UPS Healthcare's commitment to maintaining the highest standards in pharmaceutical logistics, ensuring safe, secure and efficient transportation of medical products.
In a significant step towards reinforcing its global pharmaceutical logistics network, UPS Healthcare is proud to announce that its facility in Miami has achieved the CEIV Pharma certification. The certification, awarded by the International Air Transport Association (IATA), is a testament to UPS Healthcare's dedication to operational excellence in handling and transporting pharmaceutical products.
UPS Healthcare's newly certified facilities in 2024 thus far included Amsterdam, New York, Shanghai and now Miami which join other globally certified locations in supporting the specialised requirements of healthcare customers. This certification process involved rigorous preparations across multiple aspects of operations, including pharmaceutical product handling and transportation, staff competency, procedures, risk assessment and infrastructure.
‘By achieving CEIV Pharma certification, our facilities in New York and Shanghai further demonstrate our commitment to meeting and exceeding global standards for pharmaceutical logistics’, said John Bolla, President, UPS Healthcare. ‘This certification reassures our customers that we can continue to support the safe and efficient transportation of their valuable medical products.’
The CEIV Pharma certification is a globally recognised standard in transporting pharmaceutical air cargo. Without adequate global standardisation, critical healthcare cargo such as vaccines and other biopharmaceuticals can be compromised due to temperature deviations. This certification demonstrates that UPS Healthcare can maintain the integrity of these sensitive products throughout the entire supply chain.
