It is also clear that there are several potential avenues for cooperation between UNICEF and Controlant in the future. We therefore look forward to exciting times in good company.“
A partnership with UNICEF is well-suited to Controlant, which is a global leader in digital transformation and real-time visibility for pharmaceutical supply chains. Controlant´s solutions enable the safe, reliable, traceable, and sustainable delivery of medicine, including vaccines, to patients and people around the world.
UNICEF is the largest purchaser of vaccines in the world, providing over 40% of vaccines to children in impoverished countries. The organization‘s immunization campaigns are incredibly effective in preventing disease and deaths, including preventing life-threatening diseases such as polio and measles. Immunizing children against vaccine-preventable diseases has ripple effects on communities; with every child that is vaccinated, the more protection the community has against that disease.
“It’s a fact that vaccines save lives. We are proud to join forces with UNICEF and contribute to their inspiring work to protect the lives and health of children. Beyond offering financial support to the global children‘s agency, we also look forward to sharing the wealth of experience and knowledge that the people of Controlant possess. Immunization is one of the most effective and efficient ways to safeguard health and prevent disease. However, for immunization to be effective, vaccines must be safeguarded and stored at the right temperature, from production to patient. We are honored to contribute to UNICEF‘s work including their immunization campaigns which champion the health of children.“
In their partnership, Controlant and UNICEF will place emphasis on children‘s immunization including by raising awareness of the importance of immunization as one of the most effective ways to prevent diseases and support health.
