APAC vaccine distribution hub to be established in SG

It will provide easier access to vaccines.

Zuellig Pharma declared that it entered into a deal with global biopharma company, GSK, to help set up its first vaccine distribution hub in the region.

The vaccine distribution hub will serve 13 Asian countries and will adopt a sea transport model to cut its supply chain carbon footprint. This will allow reduced transportation carbon emissions by at least 30%, compared to air transport.

Under the agreement, Zuellig Pharma Singapore will provide GSK with warehousing and distribution services in cold-chain management for its vaccines. 

The vaccine hub will also make use of Zuellig Pharma's expertise in blockchain technology for China, one of GSK's largest APAC markets. 

The use of eZTracker, Zuellig Pharma's end-to-end blockchain solution, will improve resiliency of GSK's supply chain to enable greater traceability of its vaccines. It will also enable product visibility to address the proliferation of counterfeit healthcare products in Asia.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
