Heath care services rely on a complex procedure, involving transporting a constant supply of pharmaceuticals and medicines to their patients. It is absolutely crucial that supplies such as vaccines and insulin are kept at a constant, cool temperature. This is why refrigerated vans play an essential role in the transportation of these pharmaceutical goods. In order to get a reliable refrigeration system however, high specification equipment is required. These involve numerous compartments controlling the temperature inside the van alongside emergency back-up power. They also need extensive, regular maintenance to keep them functioning to the standards needed by pharmaceutical companies.
