A low-temperature flight across the Himalayas Rookie Clinical Trial Logistics 2 hours direct delivery to Nepal

The Chengdu to Kathmandu route is currently the only route in the world to fly over the Himalayas. In the straight line of 1850 kilometers of flight, the sun shines through the clouds and fog on the tip of Mount Everest, and the sun shines on the golden mountain, and the light is overwhelming. Recently, an A330 freighter loaded with blue temperature control boxes departed from Chengdu Tianfu International Airport and crossed the snow-capped Himalayas in just 2.5 hours to land at Kathmandu International Airport in Nepal.

Cainiao International Pharmaceutical Cold Chain escorted the transportation across the "roof of the world", successfully transported clinical biological drugs to Nepal, and provided one-stop solutions for pharmaceutical companies to pack and pick up on-site cold bags, and to distribute them overseas locally.

Due to the lack of temperature control hardware conditions in the recipient's area, Cainiao for the first time tailored dozens of recyclable temperature control boxes for drugs, solving the problem of temperature control throughout the cold storage to the hospital for small-dose clinical distribution. In the incubator, Rookie has a reusable ice row and temperature logger embedded in it. The instrument can upload the temperature in the incubator to the cloud in real time, and once the temperature exceeds the warning range, the alarm information will be pushed to the management personnel in time.

After completing the local customs clearance and distributing to the Kathmandu cold storage, Cainiao cold chain staff continued to monitor and track the temperature control box online in real time, and also remotely instructed overseas operators to recycle the temperature control box and thermometer many times. Through this combination of online and offline linkage, remote guidance and practical operation at home and abroad, Cainiao International team has effectively guaranteed the temperature control needs of overseas clinics, and realized the professional transportation of clinical drugs from domestic pharmaceutical factory cold storage to overseas hospital vaccination.

According to data from the National Bureau of Statistics, the growth rate of the drug circulation industry in the first three quarters of 2021 maintained a recovery trend, and the total sales of pharmaceutical commodities in the country were 1.89 trillion yuan, an increase of 10.6% year-on-year. The overall development trend of the pharmaceutical supply chain is gradually improving, however, due to the particularity of clinical drugs, there are extremely high requirements for timeliness, temperature control in transit, and product packaging, and has always been regarded as one of the most difficult delivery services.

The person in charge of Cainiao International Transportation told reporters that the complexity and difficulty of temperature-controlled logistics of clinical drugs are much higher than those of ordinary drug logistics, and once there is an error, it may directly affect clinical trials. Therefore, as a professional logistics company that undertakes the heavy responsibility of this transportation, our cold storage to pick up, store and transport such products are required to be carried out within the specified temperature range, and the temperature monitoring is carried out throughout the process, and each step of the transportation link is strictly controlled.

It is reported that Cainiao has carried out stable and safe cross-border transportation business for biological and clinical drugs of Chinese pharmaceutical enterprises in many countries. From the production and audit of domestic and foreign operation manuals and quality system documents, to the facilities and equipment for cold pack temperature control at home and abroad, we provide perfect pharmaceutical clinical logistics solutions for remote countries and regions. In addition, Cainiao can provide a variety of options such as room temperature (15 °C-25 °C), frozen packaging (-25 °C to -15 °C) and refrigerated packaging (2 °C-8 °C) according to the different characteristics of the goods, realizing the cross-border transportation of a variety of clinical trial biopharmaceuticals for up to hundreds of hours.

Up to now, Cainiao has delivered more than 250 million pieces of medical supplies to more than 150 countries and regions around the world, and has repeatedly transported Chinese COVID-19 vaccines to Asian, African and Latin American countries.
