Healthcare / Pandemics Division
Extending a helping hand to healthcare professionals. You are making world of difference and we are here to support you.
We are one of the world’s largest healthcare companies. We know we have a critical role to play in making medications and supplies available to customers and patients when they need them.Our pharmaceutical distribution supply chain, healthcare goods chain, and medical supplies & equipment help address the challenges healthcare organizations face today—and shape how they’ll overcome the new challenges of tomorrow.We believe that it’s more important than ever for clinicians to be equipped with proper protective apparel, hand hygiene products, right ammunition like gloves, gowns, ventilators, facial and respiratory protection, protective apparel, test kits/ swabs, non contact infrared thermometers, catheters, boot/hair covers, x-ray machines, oxygen tanks and concentrates, modular hospitals, ICU, Sanitizers, UV Sterilizers to greatly reduce the spread of infections like COVID19.
Personal protective equipment (PPE) refers to protective clothing, helmets, gloves, face shields, goggles, facemasks and/or respirators or other equipment designed to protect the wearer from injury or the spread of infection or illness. PPE is commonly used in health care settings such as hospitals, doctor’s offices and clinical labs. When used properly, PPE acts as a barrier between infectious materials such as viral and bacterial contaminants and your skin, mouth, nose, or eyes (mucous membranes). The barrier has the potential to block transmission of contaminants from blood, body fluids, or respiratory secretions. PPE may also protect patients who are at high risk for contracting infections through a surgical procedure or who have a medical condition, such as, an immunodeficiency, from being exposed to substances or potentially infectious material brought in by visitors and healthcare workers. When used properly and with other infection control practices such as hand-washing, using alcohol-based hand sanitizers, and covering coughs and sneezes, it minimizes the spread of infection from one person to another. Effective use of PPE includes properly removing and disposing of contaminated PPE to prevent exposing both the wearer and other people to infection.
– Pandemics, like the 1918 Spanish Influenza1 and COVID-19, spread through regions of the World in subsequent waves.
– There is, however, no consensus on the origin of this pattern, which largely originates from human behaviour rather than from the virus diffusion itself.
– The endemic period between two waves is a sign of instability in the system.
– Our results demonstrate that the key to control the arrival of the next wave of a pandemic is in the strolling period in between waves, i.e. when the number of infections grows linearly.
– Thus, limiting the virus diffusion in this period is the most effective way to prevent or delay the arrival of the next wave.
– Our results effectively guide policymakers to time (non)pharmaceutical interventions viz *PPE, Micro Hot Spots * to delay or reduce the impact of future COVID-19 waves.
– At this point in time one can only contain the wave, not avoid it, with serious impact for the loss of human lives as well as the economy.
– The intervening during the strolling period of endemic diffusion is essential to delay or avoid a new wave while buying time for pharmaceutical interventions, like an effective VACCINE CAMPAIGN.
1WEC is honored to play a pivotal role to support the Governments of various countries during one of the world’s most significant healthcare challenges.
– The company is operating close with manufacturers / distributors for COVID-19 vaccines and ancillary supply kits.
– Under this model, on behalf of various governments we deal with all aspects of distribution, including where and when to ship vaccines and ancillary supply kits to point-of-care sites across the country.
– 1WEC has a history of managing the pharmaceutical and medical supply chains across the world. – A dedicated COVID-19 response force has been put together by 1WEC under BuildWell to supply vaccines to hundreds of customers including corporates, government organizations and hospital networks across USA, Europe, Middle East and India.

- Product Information:
- Oxygen is quintessential for our being. When one has a respiratory condition and breathing is adversely affected, a doctor prescribes supplemental oxygen to aid the oxygen intake. When we think of supplemental oxygen solutions, a traditional bulky oxygen tank often comes to the mind. Nonetheless, oxygen delivery technology is ever evolving and has made several advances in the last few years. The two widely used oxygen delivery mechanisms at home are oxygen tanks and oxygen concentrators.
- Applications:
- Oxygen tank is the most prevalent way to deliver medical-grade oxygen to the patients. Oxygen concentrators (or oxygenators) differ significantly from traditional oxygen tanks since they do not store oxygen. Regular air is made up of 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen and 1% other gases. An oxygen concentrator receives the ambient air, filters out nitrogen to retain oxygen, and then supplies it through the nozzle.
- Specifications:
- There are two kinds of oxygen tanks we supply – one contains compressed oxygen, and another contains liquid oxygen. Oxygen concentrators are usually capable of delivering 90 to 95 percent pure oxygen.
- Product Information:
- the horizontal beam provides media fixtures on both sides – media for primary care are on the rear side, while media for emergency care on the front side, suspended from the beam are manoeuvrable and rotating equipment carts which can be positioned wherever they are required. Namely right next to the patient. Moreover, an extensive array of accessories ensures that the optimum equipment is available for every situation. A highlight is that it comes with an integrated dynamic light control system – which provides simulated daylight for helping long-stay patients in particular to relax and feel good.
