for three months’.
MEG and Emergency
Natural disasters and humanitarian emergencies have significant consequen-ces for the health of those affected. It is important in emergency situations that medical supplies reach the areas fast.
The Medical Export Group (MEG) provides organisations with practical support by optimizing efficient and rapid distribution of medical supplies through so-called medical kits. Using kits offers several benefits. They can be bought from one supplier, which eases communication, integrates sourcing, supports quick assembly and delivery, and guarantees content consistency and quality. In an emergency these kits can be shipped within 24 hours. In collaboration with its partners, MEG can decide to hold a minimum number of kits in stock to facilitate an immediate delivery in case of an emergency.
Examples of medical kits offered by MEG are the Interagency
Emergency Health Kit (IEHK) – one IEHK kit provides sufficient medical support for 10,000 people for three months, and the DD kit, which is intended for cholera outbreaks. We permanently hold 20 kits of both in stock for the WHO and others. The kits can be dispatched immediately when emergencies occur.
