Aramex will leverage operational expertise and use specialized vehicles to ensure safe and speedy deliveries
Aramex recently announced that it has partnered with Mubadala Healthcare, a unit of Mubadala, to distribute door-to-door critical medical supplies to patients across the UAE.
Under the agreement, Aramex will collaborate with participating hospitals under Mubadala’s Healthcare portfolio including Imperial College London Diabetes Centre, Healthpoint and Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi for next day delivery of over-the-counter drugs, prescription-only medicines, and nutritional feed to affected patients that are recovering outside of hospital facilities.
Through the partnership, up to 2,000 patients across the UAE will receive the necessary medical supplies they need to recover which will help alleviate pressure on the healthcare system and ensure government-mandated physical distancing protocols are respected.
“Aramex has deployed highly specialized vehicles that are quality assured and temperature-controlled to deliver critical medical supplies and the fleet is equipped with the technology and protective gear to be able to carry out the deliveries with utmost safety and care,” remarked Anas Hijjawi, Chief Commercial Officer, Aramex.
“This collaboration expands our efforts that aim to reinforce the pandemic response through innovative solutions and services,” commented Hasan Jasem Al Nowais, Senior Vice President, Mubadala Healthcare.
