Quality medicines and humanitarian logistics

Non-profit international distributor of medicines, medical supplies and equipment for humanitarian aid

Farmacéuticos Mundi developed in 1997 the Humanitarian Logistic Department (Área Logística Humanitaria, ALH), the first international Spanish non-profit distributor of humanitarian health assistance aiming to provide healthcare supplies in international cooperation and development programmes, emergencies and humanitarian action.

We are specialists in the distribution of medicines, medical devices and equipment. Our main supply scheme responds to the World Health Organization (WHO) Model List of Essential Medicines, who prioritises the use of the most cost-efficient molecules and the use of international hospital packs, labelled with the international non-proprietary name in three languages and always with an adequate expiry date.

In January 2016, ALH was accredited as a wholesale distributor of pharmaceuticals under customs supervision. This improves our distribution service by offering medicines at the most competitive prices and allows ALH to meet the demand of medicines and specific therapies required in developing countries.
