Yesterday (28 April), the lights literally went out in Spain and Portugal. A massive power cut brought everything to a standstill – hospitals, pharmacies, distribution centres. But above all, people at home who depend on refrigerated medication such as insulin or biologicals were suddenly without cooling.
No power = no fridge = serious stress if your health depends on medication that has to be kept between 2-8°C.
What exactly happened?
Hospitals often still have emergency power. But at home? Then you are suddenly on your own. Patients with chronic conditions such as diabetes, MS, Crohn's or rheumatism had to improvise with cool boxes and ice cubes – often without real success. Two days without power is simply too long to keep your medication safe. The result: anxiety, frustration and sometimes even having to throw away extremely expensive medication.
What does this teach us?
That you need to think about a solution today. Not when it is too late. Because emergency power at home is often not an option, but a good portable medical cooling solution is.
At MediCooler, we have something for that: our MediCube – a compact, powerful cooler that keeps your medication safely between 2-8°C for up to 36 hours. No worries, no improvising. Exactly what you need when things unexpectedly go wrong.
Why you should take action now:
-
Power cuts are expected more and more often due to climate change and grid pressure.
-
Your health should not depend on luck or improvised solutions.
-
With an emergency cooling bag such as the MediCube, you are prepared and can sleep more soundly, even during a blackout.
