The Challenge of Last-Mile Delivery for Patients and Pharmacies
The last-mile delivery in healthcare, especially for patients and pharmacies, faces several
unique challenges:
Urgency and Sensitivity: Many medications have strict
timelines and conditions for storage and handling. Ensuring these products reach
patients promptly and without compromise is paramount.
Accessibility: Patients in remote or rural areas often
find it difficult to access pharmacies physically. The last-mile delivery must
bridge this geographical gap.
Personalization and Privacy: Delivering healthcare
products requires a high level of personalization and adherence to privacy
regulations, complicating the delivery logistics.
