Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Ltd. (MOL; President & CEO: Takeshi Hashimoto; Head Office: Minato-ku, Tokyo) and MOL Logistics Co., Ltd. (MLG; President & CEO: Koichi Yashima; Head Office: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo announced the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Revital Healthcare (EPZ) Limited (Revital; Chairman: Dr. Rajni Vora, Head Office: Mombasa, Republic of Kenya) Revital, a leading Kenyan medical disposables and diagnostics manufacturing company, for a strategic alliance to build a medical supplies and pharmaceutical distribution center in the Mombasa Special Economic Zone. Revital: Leading manufacturer of medical supplies in Africa Revital is Africa’s leading manufacturer of medical supplies with strengths in technology and manufacturing that are highly regarded by the World Health Organization (WHO) and many other international organizations. Currently, sub-Saharan Africa has no distribution centers that are equipped to assemble medical supplies or store pharmaceuticals, so many items are assembled and stored outside of Africa before being shipped to Africa. In addition, some of the medical supplies manufactured by Revital in Kenya are exported once to overseas warehouses, where they are delivered from overseas warehouses to demand centers in Africa. Construction of distribution center in Kenya The construction of a distribution center in the Special Economic Zone at Kenya’s Dongo Kundu Area, which is the subject of consideration in the MoU, will enable medical supplies manufactured by Revital and products manufactured outside Africa to be consolidated in the distribution center in Mombasa, from where they can be delivered more quickly and at lower cost to the rest of the African region, where there is a great need for medical supplies and pharmaceutical products. Healthcare challenges in Africa The MOL Group aims to help address Africa’s healthcare logistics challenges and improve healthcare standards, by combining the group’s global network and expertise in ocean shipping, infrastructure, and healthcare logistics with Revital’s expertise in medical supplies and pharmaceuticals and its network with international institutions. Commitment in solving social issues in Africa Based on this MoU, we will endeavor to improve the standard of medical care in Africa and solve logistics issues by delivering medical supplies and medicines safely, securely, and efficiently to where they are needed. MOL Logistics president Yashima said, “I would like to express my sincere respect for Revital’s enthusiasm and commitment to solve social issues in 54 African countries, and the MOL Group will support businesses mainly in the logistics field through a concerted effort of the group. Comment Revital Chairman Rajni Vora: We at Revital Healthcare are honored and excited about the strategic alliance with MOL and MLG. This partnership marks a significant milestone in our mission to address critical healthcare challenges across the African continent. By joining forces with MOL Group, a renowned global player with expertise in ocean shipping, infrastructure, and healthcare logistics, we aim to revolutionize the medical supplies and pharmaceutical distribution landscape in sub-Saharan Africa. Our commitment to manufacturing high-quality medical disposables and diagnostics aligns seamlessly with MOLs vision to improve healthcare standards and tackle logistical barriers. This alliance enables us to establish a state-of-the-art medical supplies and pharmaceutical distribution center in the Mombasa Special Economic Zone. This strategic location will not only streamline the distribution process but also contribute to faster and more cost-effective delivery of essential medical supplies throughout the African region.
