HEALTHCARE

With only 1-3% of the global pharmaceutical market, Africa represents strong growth potential, driven by a dynamic population and growing public health needs.  

However, the continent still faces major logistical challenges: dependence on imports (up to 90%), stock-outs, uneven last-mile coverage, limited cold chain capacities. Controlling compliance and strengthening supply chain visibility are becoming essential to ensure safe and equitable access to health products, supported by the rise of public-private partnerships. 

Our value proposition

At AGL, we support the transformation of healthcare supply chains in Africa by ensuring certified, traceable logistics solutions that comply with international standards. Our expertise covers all the needs of the sector's players:

• Pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies
• Generic and medical device manufacturers
• Distributors, wholesaler-distributors
• Health authorities, multilateral agencies, NGOs
• National vaccines programmes and public health

Thanks to our control of the cold chain, our Good Distribution Practice (GDP)-certified infrastructures, our last-mile solutions and our advanced traceability tools, we contribute to securing access to health products which helps to strengthen the health sovereignty of African countries.
