Promoting best practices in pharmaceutical cold chain management across the Middle East

With the increase in the global and regional concerns of assuring product integrity throughout the distribution chain, it is necessary to bring together industry regulators, end-users and solution providers to discuss the critical issues impacting the pharmaceutical cold chain. For this reason, IQPC has brought timely, thought- out programs to the pharmaceutical cold chain industry for the past 10 years across the globe.

Building on the success of our global cold chain meetings and the great success of our inagural event last year in Dubai, we are pleased to announce the 2nd Annual Cold Chain Middle East Summit which will address the urgent concerns and challenges of the Middle East marketplace for the distribution of temperature sensitive pharmaceuticals.

Key benefits of attending:

  • Avoid drug recalls by ensuring compliance with recent global regulations
  • Enhance the quality and efficiency for temperature controlled transport of biopharmaceuticals
  • Visit Emirates Sky Cargo to witness new and practical approaches to pharmaceutical cargo services
  • Maintain product integrity and stability by securing the delivery of high quality pharmaceuticals
  • Ensure security of your shipment and minimise theft by learning how to choose transportation mode and provider
  • Streamline your global supply chain by harmonising quality system, transport provider and processes
  • Minimise cost by using cost effective packaging strategies
  • The best opportunity all year to network and benchmark practices with pharmaceutical temperature control supply chain, logistics and QA stakeholders
