MOL Logistics Co., Ltd.
MOL Logistics Co., Ltd., headquartered in Tokyo, Japan, and Vayu Global Health Innovations, a Public Benefit Corporation based in Boston, Massachusetts, today announced a strategic partnership to accelerate the survival, health, and well-being of newborns and young children worldwide.
“At MOL Logistics, we are committed to using our global network and operational expertise to serve meaningful causes,” said Eric Hennet, Managing Director of MOL Logistics Holding (Europe) B.V. “This partnership with Vayu reflects our shared belief that every newborn deserves access to life-saving care. By strengthening the supply chain behind Vayu’s innovations, we are helping ensure that critical medical devices reach hospitals and healthcare workers where and when they are needed most. We are honored to support this mission and to contribute to improving health outcomes for families around the world.”
“Every baby deserves a healthy start to life, regardless of where they are born,” said Thomas F. Burke, MD, FACEP, FRSM, Founder and CEO of Vayu Global Health Innovations. “Our devices are already helping save a baby’s life every two minutes. But innovation alone is not enough. To reach the most vulnerable newborns, we need world-class logistics and global reach. Partnering with MOL Logistics strengthens our ability to deliver life-saving technology efficiently, reliably, and at scale. Together, we believe we can dramatically expand our impact and potentially double the number of lives saved over the next year.”
The partnership formalizes MOL Logistics as Vayu’s preferred global logistics provider as Vayu expands rapidly across Africa and into India, Southeast Asia, and Latin America. MOL Logistics is widely respected for its global logistics expertise and operational excellence. Through this collaboration, the organizations will work closely to optimize the delivery of life-saving medical devices, identify efficiencies in logistics and pricing, and maximize impact for families, mothers, newborns, and young children in low-resource settings.
A baby or young child’s life is currently saved every two minutes by a Vayu medical device, with many more lives improved each month. The organizations anticipate that the partnership will significantly accelerate this impact, with a goal of doubling the number of lives saved within the next 12 months.
Together, MOL Logistics and Vayu Global Health Innovations stand united in their commitment to the world’s newest citizens, ensuring that access to essential medical technology is not limited by geography or infrastructure.
