(MENAFN - BPG Group) Dubai, UAE; June 6, 2021: Global logistics leader DHL has released a white paper highlighting its learnings from one year of fighting the pandemic and how to prepare to handle public health emergencies in the future. "Revisiting Pandemic Resilience" examines the role played by logistics and supply chain management in handling the largest global health crisis in more than 100 years. DHL has played a vital role in the fight against the virus since the beginning; ensuring the availability and distribution of medicines and medical supplies, test kits, ancillary supplies, treatments, and personal protective equipment (PPE). DHL's Global Humanitarian Logistics Competence Center in Dubai coordinated the movement of aid and relief for needy communities on behalf of humanitarian organizations. In the past 4 months, DHL has distributed over 200 million doses of all approved vaccines to over 120 countries through 9, 000 operated flights, with more than 350 DHL facilities involved. Over 50 bilateral and multilateral collaborations with partners in both the pharma and public sector and several new dedicated services were created to stem this task.
