OUR RESPONSE TO COVID-19
OUR RESPONSE TO COVID-19
The Covid-19 pandemic has affected all of our lives in some way. UDG Healthcare’s swift action and clear engagement enabled the organisation to withstand challenging circumstances, while continuing to support its key stakeholders.
Our Senior Executive Team acted swiftly in the early stages of the outbreak, setting up a cross-functional Global Response Team and implementing a robust plan of action. The Global Response Team remains in place as the pandemic continues to fluctuate across the world.
