Tailored Logistics Across Critical Subsectors
End-to-end solutions across Pharmaceuticals, Specialty Pharma, Medical Devices, Clinical Trials, Consumer Healthcare, Aid & Relief and Animal Health ensure patients receive the critical care they need. Our sector expertise and people-driven approach safeguards the product integrity at every stage.
Pharmaceuticals
Pharmaceutical supply chains are under pressure to target cost reduction and operational efficiency while remaining compliant within a complex regulatory environment and delivering to an increasing number of end-user locations. DHL has more than 20 years of experience managing pharmaceutical supply chains to help you stay cool under pressure and deliver.
Specialty Pharma
A new age of specialty pharmaceuticals, enabled by pharma companies’ huge investments in Research and Development, is transforming the lives of patients with complex, chronic or rare illnesses. We deliver an array of solutions that improve health outcomes for patients, via a global network and local expertise that ensures wide access to healthcare. Tailored to the specific needs of our customers, we treat specialty pharmaceuticals with the care that patients depend on.
Medical Devices
Whether low-value disposable items or high-value capital equipment, DHL provides end-to-end lifecycle services with scale, visibility, and flexibility. From device final mile to spare parts delivery, returns, and disposal, we want to ensure every medical device has the potential to change someone's life.
Clinical Trials
Supply chains must be ready to handle the accelerated pace and complexity of modern clinical research and new generations of virtual, hybrid, and adaptive trial design. We’re here to make the thousands of connections between researchers, sponsors, and patients compliant, safe, and effortless.
Consumer Healthcare
Consumers are becoming more proactive in the management of their wellbeing through self-care. Ageing populations are looking for a wider variety of healthcare options. Markets are growing across new geographies, and e-commerce volume is increasing. At DHL, we understand the importance of maximizing on-shelf and online product availability to maximize sales opportunities. Our globally standardized processes and investment into automation and robotics will help you achieve cost and operational efficiency across your end-to-end supply chain.
Aid and Relief
Public health, humanitarian, and non-governmental organizations look to DHL to provide the necessary supply chain expertise for the storage and distribution of all categories of medical goods, as well as essential aid and relief supplies. Smart and resilient supply chains reduce waste, speed up response times, and make funds go further. They strengthen health systems to bring the world closer to the UN Sustainable Development Goal of good health and well-being for all.
