The problem

What goes wrong today

  • 01

    Rural clinics and pharmacies in the Eastern Cape sit hours from the nearest wholesaler or lab.

  • 02

    Dedicated rural deliveries are expensive because each trip carries one client's parcels.

  • 03

    Patients travel long distances to collect what could have been carried to them.

What we do

How Hazchem fixes it

  • Peri-urban and rural pharmacy-to-patient drops filled onto existing route vehicles.
  • Clinic parcels, results and consumables carried alongside specimen routes.
  • Inter-lab referral boxes on scheduled trunk routes.
  • Route design support for provincial and district logistics planning.

How it works

Four steps, one record.

  1. Step 01

    Map the need

    Tell us the clinics, pharmacies or towns you need served.

  2. Step 02

    Match a route

    We match your drops to route days from our Eastern Cape hubs.

  3. Step 03

    Carry

    Parcels ride with the route crew under the same custody rules.

  4. Step 04

    Report

    Monthly report per site: drops, times and exceptions.

Compliance handling

Done properly, and documented.

Rules on every job
  • Specimens and medicines are separated in the vehicle.
  • Medicines move under the sending pharmacy's licence; nothing is held in our hubs.
  • Every drop scanned, sealed and signed.
