HEALTHCARE LOGISTICS

With only 1–3% of the global pharmaceutical market, Africa represents significant growth potential, driven by a growing population and increasing healthcare needs.

However, the continent continues to face major logistics challenges: dependence on imports (up to 90%), stockouts, uneven last-mile coverage, limited cold chain capacity, fragmented regulatory frameworks, the fight against counterfeit products, and limited digitalization of flows. Ensuring compliance and strengthening traceability systems are becoming essential to guarantee secure and equitable access to healthcare products, supported by the growing development 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.

• 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.
