Our time-critical division was tasked with expediting the delivery of the hazardous radiation treatment.
Delivering radioactive cancer medication
A pharmaceutical client in the U.S. got in touch with our time-critical division for help transporting three cases of radioactive medication between states. With a shelf life of only 45 minutes, specialist handling was essential to ensure the safe delivery of the hazardous freight. The medication was needed later that day for radiation treatment to stop a patient’s cancer spreading, so we got straight to work on the complex request.
