UPS Delivers Global Health Solutions

UPS is not an obvious player in the global health business but if you think about it, their role is critical in delivering health care to the world. Temperature-sensitive medications would be worthless if accidentally exposed to extreme temperatures or if delivered late. To meet the challenges of delivering medicines and supplies UPS has a 24/7 crisis team that manages only health-care deliveries—everything from remote cardiac monitoring products to supplies for nursing mothers in Bangkok.
