Cold Chain Management

Cold chain management is a fundamental part of immunization programs. Vaccines require consistent, controlled temperatures to maintain their effectiveness, and SIG has built a robust cold chain system to ensure that vaccines are transported and stored at the correct temperature, even in conflict-affected regions.

Temperature-Controlled Storage

Temperature-Controlled Storage: SIG maintains a network of refrigeration units and cold storage facilities throughout North-west Syria. These facilities are equipped with solar-powered refrigeration systems, essential for maintaining the integrity of vaccines in areas where electricity is unreliable.

Continuous Monitoring

To prevent any fluctuations in temperature that might compromise vaccine potency, SIG uses advanced temperature monitoring devices. These devices ensure that vaccines are kept within safe temperature ranges during transportation and storage.

Efficient Distribution

SIG has developed a streamlined distribution system that ensures vaccines are delivered on time and at the right temperature to immunization points, including hospitals, clinics, and mobile vaccination units.

Training Health Workers

SIG trains healthcare professionals on the proper handling and storage of vaccines. This includes the use of cold chain equipment, understanding temperature logs, and identifying potential issues before they become critical.

The success of SIG’s immunization programs depends heavily on effective cold chain management, ensuring that vaccines remain safe and effective from the moment they are produced until they are administered.
