A hunky-dory job for a chikungunya operation

Since a couple of months, the Reunion Island has been fighting a local plague, funnily called the “Chikungunya”. This epidemic disease, like malaria, is caused by mosquito stings.

It is thus some kind of an emergency operation that Soretrans did for their client.

There are many technical and legal constraints for the import of insect repellent. But under the circumstances, our team was strongly motivated and rushed the operations of reception, customs, and delivery of tens of thousands of plug-in mosquito repellents in less than a whole day.

The delivery of the mosquito kits to “La Mutualité de la Réunion”, a mutual benefit association in Saint Denis was done by REUNITRANS. The kits were then distributed to the population. As a whole, over 7 tons and 55m3 insect repellent to fight this dreadful disease.

We were warmly thanked by our client for this operation / gesture of sympathy, which was relayed in the local newspaper on March 7.
