Sector Health

Health logistics is essential in import and export processes for pharmaceutical companies, pharmaceutical warehouses, hospitals, clinics, medical companies, and medical device manufacturers.  Responding to the needs, special requirements, speed, and quality expectations of the health sector, health logistics services serve as a backbone for our country, which stands out with health investments and health tourism every day in the world.


 

Health Logistics is of Key Importance in the Globalizing World

The health sector is one of the broad areas of investment in which the world is a global market. In fact, the need for effective and creative logistics solutions in the field of treatment and medicine, where many drugs and treatment methods are patented and offered to the world by a small number of manufacturers/production centers, is vital. The supply of sanitary materials necessary for human and animal health or the transfer of raw materials needed to manufacture a drug requires transactions in dozens of different countries from time to time.

What is Health Logistics? Health logistics refers to the process of production of raw materials/drugs, manufacturing or import of medical devices, supply, storage, or protection of all materials needed for the health sector, safe transfer, and delivery to designated destinations. In line with this, logistics services include health logistics services that will create solutions for international transport, distribution, bonded or unbonded warehouses, warehousing, and customs clearance procedures with unique models.


 

Precision Solutions for Health and Pharmaceutical Logistics

There are key features that logistics services in the field of health should have:

● All logistics operations and services must be carried out in accordance with the regulations issued by the Ministry of Health, and GMP standards.
● It is essential to provide appropriate temperature and humidity levels for medicines and health products.
● Strict hygiene rules should be followed.
● Thanks to the integrated systems, immediate access to warehouse management systems should be provided.
● Product follow-up with RFID tag and packaging technology is important.
● The performance of value-added services specific to the health sector should be included in the scope of the solution.
● Storage areas, warehouse, and customs services have to be provided.
● Stock accuracy should have a low error rate, and cooperation is needed with safe health logistics partners.
● Cold chain (also called refrigerated transport) and ordinary transport needs must be met.

Importance of Health Logistics for the Growing Health Sector

Especially for a country like Türkiye, with medical investments growing daily, the quality of logistics and transport activities in health is the secret of success in the field of health. Clinical specialists, pharmaceutical and biotechnology partners, laboratory companies, hospitals, healthcare recipients, and technology and data analytics companies are all part of health logistics networks. For the smooth progress of all processes, it is necessary to have the right equipment, medicines, and raw materials in time. The smooth performance of transfers between all actors, and the timely and undamaged shipment of highly sensitive health products require professional equipment and experience.

It is important that all personnel working in the field of health logistics act in accordance with hygiene rules, transport instructions, and safety measures. Even in loading, unloading, and storage processes, the employees may be required to be involved in the work by wearing special clothing when necessary. Therefore, it is an important advantage for customers that logistics experts know the field, have received training, and are ready for possible inspections. Moreover, all these processes should be carried out in coordination.
