MoU to aid humanitarian logistics signed

INTERNATIONAL Medical Corps (IMC) and Agility, a global logistics leader, signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) that outlines plans to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of humanitarian relief.

The agreement details plans for Agility supply chain management experts to support International Medical Corps’ operations in the field. During emergencies, Agility will also provide logistics personnel to aid in International Medical Corps’ delivery and transportation of relief supplies, including warehouse storage and shipping. With operations in some of the world’s most difficult environments, International Medical Corps often needs supplies delivered quickly to hard-to-access areas.

“We are thrilled to be formalizing a partnership that has already proven successful,” said Nancy Aossey, president and CEO of International Medical Corps. “International Medical Corps and Agility have already changed thousands of lives in their work together. This MoU ensures that this life-saving cooperation will continue to help those around the world who need it most.”

“By partnering with International Medical Corps, Agility will help ensure vital food supplies, basic necessities and medical aid reach disaster-stricken areas in a timely manner,” said Tarek Sultan, chairman and managing director of Agility.
