Customised supply chain solutions for healthcare and medical technology

What areas does medical logistics cover?

Logistics in the healthcare sector combines logistics, quality and supply chain management to fulfil specific requirements. Blood samples, blood and diagnostic preparations as well as medical, pharmaceutical and clinical devices and consumables are transported and stored in accordance with medical requirements.

This sensitive area of healthcare logistics requires good and precise coordination, as no errors are tolerated. The requirements for medical technology and products in the healthcare sector are strictly regulated in order to guarantee quality, effectiveness and integrity.

End-to-End healthcare concepts from production to delivery

Logistics, quality and supply chain management are closely interlinked in the healthcare sector. Blood samples, blood and diagnostic preparations as well as medical, pharmaceutical and clinical devices and consumables can be stored and transported reliably and in compliance with regulations – always in accordance with the applicable medical requirements such as ISO13485 or GDP.
This sensitive area of healthcare logistics requires seamlessly planned processes in which every step is perfect. The legal requirements for medical technology and products in the healthcare sector are high in order to guarantee quality, effectiveness and integrity.
