Cold Chain Logistics and Healthcare Supply Chain
Abstract
Cold chain logistics is the movement of temperature-controlled medical supplies along the supply chain (see Figure 37.1 ). These goods often include pharmaceuticals, equipment, and temperature-sensitive foods. Cold chain logistics doesn’t only commence when the product is loaded onto the vehicle; it involves every step of the transportation journey, from initial handling to last-step delivery.
