Partnership with the Joint Medical Stores to optimize vaccine cold chain in Uganda
Feb
“The Joint Medical Stores (JMS) is troubled by the substandard medical supplies that find themselves on the Uganda market, putting the lives of unsuspecting consumers at great risk. […]
It said it had secured a partnership with a Luxembourg-based firm, B Medical Systems, a move that will see the agency receive high quality medical equipment. […]
The partnership “shall subsidize quality vaccine and medicine refrigerators thereby facilitating effective storage of vaccines, anti-diabetics-insulin, antivenom, and anaesthetics.” […]
Obiely Tayoro, the sub-Saharan Africa sales manager for B Medical Systems, said the fridges were eco-friendly because they use solar and have the capacity “of powering other equipment fitting into the Ugandan context where a number of health facilities are off the grid.” […]

He said JMS and B Medical systems could also help government facilities to store blood. […]
