(August 2020) During the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic, when global supply chains were overwhelmed and the demand for medical supplies skyrocketed, Vigour Med Store took decisive action to ensure life-saving Personal Protective Equipment (PPEs) reached frontline workers in Africa.
With the support of CDC Africa, we successfully coordinated the shipment of millions of PPE units via charter aircraft to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, in partnership with the African Field Epidemiology Network (AFENET). This mission was critical in protecting healthcare workers fighting the pandemic across the continent.
An Unwavering Commitment to Supply Chain Excellence
Behind this massive operation was our dedicated sourcing and procurement team, who worked tirelessly day and night to secure high-quality PPEs directly from manufacturers amid unprecedented shortages. Our team navigated production delays, strict export regulations, and logistical hurdles to ensure timely delivery of essential supplies.
The shipment, which included masks, gloves, gowns, and face shields, was received at the World Food Programme (WFP) warehouse in Ethiopia for immediate distribution to hospitals, clinics, and emergency response teams in critical need.
Acknowledging the Teams Who Made the Impossible Possible
This mission was only possible due to the relentless efforts of our supply chain experts, logistics coordinators, and strategic partners. A special acknowledgment goes to FGi Global Solutions, whose outstanding performance turned what seemed impossible into reality. Their expertise in navigating complex international logistics ensured that these critical supplies reached the right hands at the right time.
At Vigour Med Store, we take pride in our role as a trusted supplier of medical devices and emergency healthcare solutions. This successful operation reaffirms our commitment to supporting global health initiatives, strengthening healthcare resilience, and ensuring frontline workers have the resources they need to save lives.
Together, we stand in the fight against the pandemic and continue to advance global healthcare solutions.
