Unichem's hospital supply division, Hospital Pharma, has won a £12m contract to supply the Medical Supplies Agency (MSA). The MSA is the Government body responsible for distributing medical supplies to the United Kingdom's armed forces throughout the world. The contract runs for three years from October.
Unichem expects to deliver the bulk of consignments to one central MSA location in Hampshire. From there, medicines will be distributed to over 30 locations used by the Army, Navy and Air Force, including field units, ships, dental centres, pharmacies and hospital wards.
