Biological Dispatch Section
The Biological Dispatch Section is the final operational link between production and end-user delivery, responsible for the safe handling, packaging, and distribution of vaccines and biological products. The section ensures that all consignments are dispatched under controlled cold-chain conditions to maintain product integrity and efficacy from the institute to the field.
Overview
The Biological Dispatch Section is tasked with coordinating the distribution of vaccines and biological products produced by the institute. Operating as the final checkpoint before products reach clients and field units, the section ensures compliance with cold-chain logistics, documentation, and safety standards.
The section plays a crucial role in maintaining the reputation and reliability of the institute’s biologicals through careful planning, temperature-controlled packaging, and real-time tracking of shipments.
