Overview
In general terms, pharmaceutical logistics is related to the handling, transport and chain management of multiple and varied products, the vast majority of which require specific conditions in their logistic treatment.
As indicated by the Spanish Agency for Medicines and Healthcare Products, pharmaceutical products range from medicines and all their typologies, healthcare products and medical and surgical instruments, to cosmetic and perfume products, raw materials, biotechnological materials or biopharmaceuticals.
The aim is therefore to meet the logistical specifications for a wide range of products, some of which require controlled temperature conditions from the production or processing phase to the moment of consumption.
