Case Study: Donation Program
Global Hema-Oncology Access Program
30,000 Patients. 80 Countries.
The Challenge
A global NGO needed an expert specializing in GDP distribution, regulatory compliance, and program management to supply donated medicines to patients with chronic hematological diseases in nearly 80 low- and middle-income countries.
While the ambition was clear, the challenge was complex: creating a single, compliant, multi-partner donation model with the quality standards, distribution infrastructure, and regulatory clarity needed to deliver medicines directly to hospitals, ministries of health, pharmacies, and local NGOs. The NGO and the donor companies required a partner capable of managing scale, risk, and global variability without compromising safety or access.
Our Approach
Tanner Pharma worked with the NGO and donor companies to set up a global supply chain with 3 central depots to distribute donated medicines to more than 120 institutions and ministries of health, enabling access to a portfolio of treatments. The first patients were supplied within 5 months from Tanner being engaged. The supply chain setup included establishment of a new business in Switzerland and obtaining a Swissmedic wholesale distribution authorization, build-out of a warehouse in India, subcontracting and operationalization of regional depots in 8 countries, and onboarding of pharmacy networks and home delivery in India, Sri Lanka, the Philippines and Argentina.
