PTC Logistics successfully completed the first leg of its specialized cold-chain operations on July 22, delivering critical Measles-Rubella vaccines and diluents across the challenging terrain of Mountain Province and Cagayan Valley.
The mission kicked off on July 20 following the loading of biological supplies at the DOH Tala Warehouse, with all scheduled drop-offs successfully wrapped up by July 22. Working with strict operational discipline to maintain temperature integrity, the field teams ensured that the life-saving vaccines reached remote Rural Health Units safely and on target.
