In early 2025, we got a call from a woman in Jaipur. Her brother in Dubai had undergone a surgery and urgently needed post-operative medication unavailable locally in the UAE. She had tried a few courier services, but they either declined or couldn’t guarantee customs clearance.
This is a scenario we encounter every week at Courier Medicine.
