As healthcare advances, logistics must evolve to ensure medicines, therapies and medical devices reach patients safely, reliably and on time. From personalized treatments and increasingly complex temperature requirements to growing access to healthcare in emerging markets, these developments are reshaping global healthcare supply chains.
In the latest episode of the CEVA Pod, Ryan Fisher speaks with Eric ten Kate, CEVA’s Global Sector Logistics Leader for Healthcare, about the trends transforming the sector and the role logistics plays in bringing medical innovation to patients.
The conversation explores how end-to-end visibility, temperature-controlled networks and closer collaboration between logistics providers and pharmaceutical companies are becoming increasingly important. Eric also discusses the shift from air to ocean freight for suitable products, the evolving requirements for medical devices and the coordination needed to deliver healthcare supplies during humanitarian crises.
As treatments become more specialized and supply chains more complex, logistics is moving beyond transportation to become a strategic partner in healthcare delivery, helping protect product integrity, improve supply chain resilience and ultimately support patient safety.
