Objectives: The project aimed to improve healthcare infrastructure in three remote provinces – Dien Bien, Dak Nong, and Quang Binh – by providing six state-of-the-art sterilization machines. This initiative overcame successfully logistical and regulatory hurdles, demonstrating the power of strategic partnerships in addressing social challenges.
Project Background:
Tesalys, a leading manufacturer of medical waste treatment equipment, sought to contribute to healthcare improvement in Vietnam. However, as a foreign entity, they faced challenges in navigating the country’s regulatory landscape and establishing a local presence. A united nations intergovernmental organization (UN) dedicated to improving healthcare access sought support in procuring and distributing medical equipment.
This presented an opportunity for Source of Asia (SOA), a leading international consultancy with expertise in logistics, customs clearance, and project management, to facilitate this tripartite collaboration.
Solutions:
SOA team effectively addressed these challenges by:
- Site Assessment and Preparation: We conducted comprehensive site evaluations at healthcare facilities, implementing necessary infrastructure upgrades to accommodate the sterilization machines.
- Importation and Logistics Management: We navigated the complexities of the Vietnamese importation process, including customs clearance, and coordinated the transportation of machines to the three provinces (two machines per province).
- Installation and Certification: The team handled the installation and rigorous testing of the machines to ensure operational safety and compliance, securing the necessary certifications for use.
- Stakeholder Collaboration: The initiative was guided by a global health-focused entity, ensuring collaboration with healthcare institutions and regulatory bodies for project validation.
