PHIs can hire them to deliver medications to their patient’s homes, in a safe and secured manner.

Cabbies trained to transport medical supplies

To ensure transporting conditions are optimal, cabbies are trained to double-check the surrounding temperature and keep the parcels away from direct sunlight.

They also have to follow a standard procedure to verify the identity of the recipient to make sure the medication reaches the intended patient.

Like any ComfortDelivery service involving food and groceries, taxi drivers will receive the full fee for their hard work.
