Pharmaceuticals cold chain challenges.

Number: Keynote D2-Fr-3

Author(s) : CAVALIER G.

Summary

Most of pharmaceuticals and health products are sensible to temperature. Their properties can be changed, their efficiency reduced and they can even be destroyed or turned dangerous by exposure to unappropriated temperatures. Cold chain and controlled temperatures play thus a growing role in pharmaceuticals and health products distribution. With the internationalization of the market, pharmaceuticals logistic become also more and more complex. The products can be exposed to extreme conditions. In the same time, the number and variety of thermos-sensible pharmaceuticals fast increase and the diversity of molecules is larger due to biotechnologies development for example. Taking into account these evolutions, health regulations have been recently reinforced in many countries to improve the performance of pharma logistics, the safety of the products and their efficiency and to reduce the cost of a tremendous market. With new requirements in a growing market, pharma logistics under controlled temperatures is then facing new challenges. This conference will present the context of pharmaceuticals cold chain, the recent and present changes and will detail the new challenges to be faced to achieve the new goals.
