Yemen Medical Logistics & Cold-Chain Disruption Workbench

Compute real-time thermal holdover reserve across Aden, Hudaydah, Sana'a, Taiz, Ma'rib, and Sa'dah medical supply corridors under checkpoint impedance and peak ambient heat.

Protocol Rule
Passive WHO PQS vaccine carriers lose 28–38% of rated holdover autonomy when ambient coastal temperatures exceed 38 C or when receiving clinics rely on rationed diesel generators. Solar direct-drive (SDD) ice banks preserve 2–8 C stability across 48–72 hour transit interruptions.

Dispatch prior to dawn thermal peak via Aden to Tur Al-Bahah switchbacks. Attach 30-day electronic logger (30DTR) and verify solar autonomy at destination.

Essential Supply Thermal Limits & Failure Thresholds

Model assumptions reflect WHO PQS E004 insulated passive container testing at 43 C continuous ambient stress and field fuel-rationing penalties. Always verify physical Vaccine Vial Monitor (VVM) stage and 30DTR excursion alarms on clinic receipt.
