This may be because larger quantities of products are required, or because only a few products from a particular kit are needed.

Therefor, IDA\u2019s kitting facility is strategically located in Dubai – at the crossroad between Asia, Africa, and Europe – close to both airport and seaport. This ensures fast shipments to any location, especially during emergency response. It is also close to the International Humanitarian City, a logistics centre for the distribution of humanitarian aid, where major global humanitarian organisations have local offices to quickly respond to global crises.<\/p>\n Aside from a large kit production capacity, the facility is also equipped to stock large numbers of kit components and kits, allowing us to not only respond quickly in the event of an emergency, but also to produce (non-emergency) custom-made kits for our customers.<\/p>\n The animated video below shows the entire kitting chain – “from pill to patient” -, zooming in on the main kitting activities in a brief step-by-step process.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_video src=”https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=nwKOn9Wsgco” _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_video][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n For more information on separate kitting stages such as inbound, storage, kit packaging and outbound, you can watch this additional video\u00a0<\/span>here<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text quote_border_color=”#001a71″ _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n IDA has gained\u00a0<\/span>extensive experience<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>over the years by working with international NGOs, UN organisations and intergovernmental organisations, providing kitting solutions to help them execute emergency response projects, often under challenging circumstances in remote and hard-to-reach areas.

Experience and impact<\/h3>\n
Supplying kits requires experience in managing complexities in sourcing, procurement, quality assurance, logistics, kit assembly and warehousing.\u00a0 To successfully manage our kit projects and activities, we have the necessary systems, supplier management tools and logistics knowledge in place, all supported by our stringent QMS (quality management system).<\/p>\nSupporting healthcare in weakened health systems<\/h3>\n
In South Sudan, a country with a population of almost 43 million people, of which a substantial part is living in remote and hard to reach areas, access to good quality healthcare also remains a challenge. Our kits allow a range of cost-effective essential health products to be easily distributed to these areas.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nImpact
