LIFE SCIENCES & HEALTHCARE

Transforming the Industry, Transforming Lives

The life sciences and healthcare sector is undergoing a period of intense transformation, as manufacturers, research bodies, hospitals and health professionals face increasing cost pressures, complexities and risks.

You need to be equipped with agile, future-proofed solutions and the ability to navigate a multitude of challenges that include temperature control, cost efficiency, growth in the emerging markets and burgeoning new regulations.

Traditional supply chain models are no longer effective and survival now depends on visibility driven by the need to control and optimize processes and supply chain flexibility.

Life Sciences & Healthcare Sector Expertise

Pharmaceuticals

Increasing controls on temperature assurance and regulatory requirements have considerably impacted the pharmaceutical supply chain. Security issues, e-pedigree and the risk of counterfeit medicines provide additional challenges.

DHL has deep knowledge of the market dynamics, standards and regulations. We’ve developed specific solutions for the Pharma industry including temperature assurance, special handling for vaccines and biologics, customization, packaging and direct delivery to patients and customers.

Medical Devices

The complexity of supplying an extensive range of Medical Devices – from implants to capital equipment and from consumables to diagnostics – mandates an entirely different set of supply chain requirements. Our approach is to work with you to ensure all considerations are taken into account when developing the optimum solution.

To meet these challenging demands, we’ve developed a set of value-added services that include late-stage customization, instrument kit assembly, direct-to-patient delivery and inventory management.

Clinical Trials

Exacting requirements in the different stages of a clinical trial add tremendous complexity to the supply chain. This environment requires strict regulatory compliance, precise temperature control and reliable, fast delivery. As a leading provider of integrated 3PL solutions, DHL brings high standards of quality, visibility and security. With efficient logistics, inventory holding and visibility tools, costs are reduced and decision-making is improved.

Hospital & Health Services

The growth of private healthcare, particularly in emerging economies, combined with the increased pressure on health service expenditures, has resulted in a greater focus on costs in delivering patient care. DHL can help improve efficiencies and significantly impact the overall performance of a hospital or group. Services include procurement, inventory tracking and patient transport.
