CASE STUDY: ERITREA

Our client MSD Animal Health was looking for a passive solution for shipping rabies vaccines into a hostile and hazardous location in Eritrea. It concerned approximately 80.000 doses of live-saving animal medication.

A number of factors complicated the situation:

  • No possibility to retrieve active solution
  • Required duration of up to 10 days at 2-8°C
  • Potential delays at climatically hostile environments
  • No availability of temperature controlled storage in transit
  • No product stability < 0°C
