Oximio Ukraine: Leading the Way in Clinical Trial Supply Chain Solutions During the War
Despite the ongoing war in Ukraine, the need for clinical trials remains critical. In 2024 alone, from January to October, 46 new studies received approval, with 40 of them being multinational collaborations and six local initiatives. This resilience highlights the essential role of clinical research in advancing healthcare.
Established in 2004, Oximio, Ukraine has a profound understanding of patient care and the complexities of the clinical trial landscape. We are proud to have positioned ourselves as a leader in the industry, currently supporting over 62% of the new studies approved this year. Our success is rooted in our commitment to continuity and adaptability, especially in these challenging times.
Navigating Challenges with Robust Planning
Thanks to comprehensive business continuity plans that ensure uninterrupted operations and the safety of our personnel we have continued to provide agile logistics solutions for sponsors and CROs within the country. Key strategies include:
Availability and Security of Warehouse Staff
The safety and availability of our warehouse personnel are paramount. We have constructed an anti-attack shelter adjacent to our warehouse to protect our team and ensure they can carry out their daily tasks without disruption.
Reliable Power Supplies
Our facilities are equipped with two high-power diesel generators that maintain electricity in all temperature-controlled areas, including refrigerators and freezers. Regular maintenance and testing have ensured these systems function without issues, and we maintain an adequate fuel supply for uninterrupted operations.
Backup Heating Solutions
To safeguard the integrity of our temperature-sensitive materials, our depots are fitted with alternative heating solutions that operate independently of gas supplies. The ventilation system at our Krushynka depot has been modernized, and we have implemented an additional independent electric heating system connected to our generators. Meanwhile, our Brody depot features a solid fuel heating system, ensuring we can maintain optimal conditions year-round.
Distribution Availability
We have secured ongoing fuel supplies through contracts with leading gas stations and have established a three-week fuel storage supporting the uninterupted completion of all deliveries.
Robust Communication Systems
To ensure seamless communication and coordination, our action plan includes provisions for internet connectivity disruptions. We have established connections with two internet providers, alongside backup satellite and fiber optic systems, ensuring we stay connected with our clients and partners globally.
A Commitment to Patient Care
At Oximio, our core values revolve around the safety of our staff and the delivery of patient care. We understand that the stakes are high in clinical trials, and our commitment to excellence drives us to adapt and innovate continuously. The ongoing conflict in Ukraine has posed many challenges, but it has also reinforced our resolve to support vital clinical research initiatives.
As we look to the future, we remain dedicated to providing unparalleled supply chain solutions for clinical trials, ensuring that the essential work of advancing healthcare continues, even in the face of adversity. Our international team, combined with our robust operational strategies, position us as a trusted partner in the global clinical research community.
