Explaining how to ensure continuity of pharmaceuticals supply worldwide, Sanjiv Gupta, CEO, SpiceXpress, says, “The entire COVID-19 vaccination effort cannot be undertaken without all stakeholders putting in their bit. Government agencies, ministries, handling agencies, freight forwarders, carriers, and custodians have to work even more closely to deliver the vaccination to the final point of inoculation. This is the time to collaborate with each other to achieve a seamless transportation experience for all rather than transporting in a competitive environment.”
“The first two phases of vaccine movement within India and to neighbouring countries in the month of January was done exceptionally well because of a collaborative approach between all the stakeholders. This needs to be repeated for the next phases of vaccine transportation within India. I also see it being replicated for international movement,” he informs.
