Quick, Compliant Turnaround of Vital Temperature Sensitive Medicinal Products in Kenya
When it comes to delivering essential medication, time and precision are critical. Delays in the supply chain can directly impact patient outcomes, making speed, accuracy, and compliance non-negotiable. Across our global network, our teams are trusted to handle complex, time-sensitive pharmaceutical operations while maintaining the highest quality standards. This was highlighted by a recent request for our Oximio team in Kenya which showcased streamlined and flawless execution in action.
The Challenge
The Kenyan team received a significant inbound, bulk shipment of Investigational Medicinal Products (IMPs) as part of an urgent CRO order. The shipment required rapid turnaround while ensuring strict adherence to temperature control, quality, and regulatory requirements.
The scope of work included:
- Full unloading of the inbound shipment from the delivery truck
- Detailed checking and verification
- Careful unpacking and preparation readiness for onward redistribution
- Continuous handling within a 2–8°C temperature-controlled environment
Given the volume and critical nature of the products, the task demanded close coordination, attention to detail, and careful processing.
The Solution
Our Kenyan team mobilised quickly, working with focus and precision to successfully complete the entire process in under two working days. All activities were carried out within the designated temperature-controlled specification, ensuring full compliance with quality and regulatory standards throughout the operation.
Despite the demanding nature of the shipment, the team maintained accuracy at every step, from verification through to readiness for onward distribution, demonstrating strong operational discipline and teamwork.
The Outcome
- Large, bulk shipments of IMPs processed efficiently and compliantly
- End-to-end handling completed in under two working days
