An innovative solution
that addresses the
lack of appropriate
storage space for
medical supplies in Malawi’s
health facilities is providing a
reliable, cost-effective and secure
supply of products for HIV/AIDS
programmes.
Resolve Capacity, a division
of Imperial group company
Resolve Solution Partners,
was awarded the contract to
install 115 prefabricated storage
units across the country using
its unique Storage-in-a-Box
solution. Work commenced in
June 2016, installing eight units
a week, and the project was
completed this month.
“These prefabricated 70-sqm
modular storage units are
pharmaceutical-compliant,
validated, fully outfitted and can
be deployed immediately,” says
Arno Haigh, managing executive
for Resolve Capacity.
Delivered in 40-ft containers,
Storage-in-a-Box brings supply
chain solutions to both remote
and urban settings, allowing
supply networks to develop
where they are needed, not just
where they have traditionally
been able to be deployed.
Previously shortages and
stock-outs of commodities
caused dangerous breaks
in treatment for patients.
Emergency orders wasted
money on rush fees and high
freight costs – and lack of
inventory control wasted valuable
commodities due to expiry,
improper storage and theft. Poor
coordination led to redundancies
and gaps in service.
“This project is one of a
number of similar projects
Resolve Capacity has conducted
in Africa,” says Haigh. “Our
Clinic-in-a-Box™ and Warehousein-
a-Box™ products have been
instrumental in transforming
healthcare solutions in a number
of African countries.
