Power outage in Spain and Portugal: Why a good medicine cooler can save your life

Yesterday (April 28) the lights literally went out in Spain and Portugal. A massive power outage shut down everything – hospitals, pharmacies, distribution centers. But especially people at home, who depend on refrigerated medicines such as insulin or biologicals, were suddenly without cooling.

No power = no fridge = serious stress when your health depends on medication that needs 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. Result: fear, frustration and sometimes even having to throw away extremely expensive medication.

What does this teach us?
That you should 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 medicines safely between 2-8°C for up to 36 hours. Without worries, without improvising. Exactly what you need when things go wrong unexpectedly.

Why you need to take action now:

• Power outages are expected to occur more frequently due to climate change and grid load.

• Your health should not depend on luck or improvised solutions.

• With an emergency cool bag like the MediCube you are prepared and you sleep more peacefully, even in the event of a blackout.
