Dubai: Logistics company Aramex announced on Tuesday the opening of its first dedicated regional healthcare and pharmaceutical hub in the Dubai South Free Zone.
Aramex stated that the announcement follows the warehouse receiving certification from the UAE Ministry of Health and Prevention.
The company said the facility is designed to support healthcare and pharmaceutical businesses seeking to leverage the Free Zone’s strategic location and infrastructure.

Our aim is to offer healthcare partners a resilient, compliant, and fully integrated supply chain, enabling them to serve patients faster, safer, and more reliably.”
What’s in the Hub?
Covering 5,600 square metres, the hub features temperature-controlled environments, including ambient storage, cold rooms, and freezer units, designed to meet a wide range of pharmaceutical requirements.
