Iceland is about the size of Kentucky, but with only 8% of that state’s population. All total, Iceland’s population numbers 340,000. With 60 primary care facilities, 250,000 patients, and 98 pharmacies, there can’t be many challenges to shipping temperature-sensitive medications, right? Just make certain the shipment can withstand extreme cold weather and it’s good to go, right?

Not so fast. As Vallý Helgadóttir illustrated via three case studies presented Sept. 27 during the Global Forum 15th Annual Temperature Controlled Life Science Supply Chain event in Chicago, plenty of things can derail even well-planned, systematic healthcare logistics efforts.

Helgadóttir is the Director of Customer Service for Distica, a specialized company in logistics, warehousing and distribution of pharmaceuticals, healthcare and medical products for the healthcare sector and laboratories in Iceland.
