The supply of samples and equipment related to healthcare and medical requirements can sometimes be urgent and critical. A medical courier allows the movement from one place to another, often from the collection point of a sample, urine, blood, etc., to the healthcare facility centres where the tests are performed. Usually, such samples are time-sensitive and require a prompt transfer between doctors, clinics and hospitals, and biochemistry labs. Medical courier services can be offered across borders with medical test samples, delivery reagents, kits, and more products to research, pharmaceutical, and biotechnology companies.

Surgery is one of the most important treatments offered by the National Health Service (NHS) in secondary care in the UK. According to Europe Blood Alliance, approximately 25 million units of blood are transfused annually in Europe. The source also stated that European Patients need between 67,000 and 70,000 units of blood and blood components every day.

In recent years, road traffic has increased significantly in the Europe, leading to a surge in road accidents and fatalities, further driving the demand for hospital supplies. For instance, as per data by Independer, in 2020, European road accidents caused nearly 26,000 fatal casualties and over 1.3 million injuries. As per the Department for Transport June 2021 report published by the UK government, 115,333 casualties of all severities were reported in 2020, of which 22,014 were seriously injured and 91,847 were slightly injured casualties.

Under the Targeted Investment Fund, almost 600 new beds (584) specifically for elective care, dozens of elective theaters delivering state-of-the-art treatment, and nearly 90 more critical care beds nationwide will be provided. Since the elective recovery plan was published in 2022 the NHS has offered 13.5 million elective appointments and treatments—9% higher than 2022. Further, elective care was delivered to 70,000 more patients in November compared to the pre-pandemic period.
