Hemophilia

When Direct Relief receives a donation of insulin, it is stored in the organization’s 2,800-square-foot cold room, which stays between between 36 and 41 degrees Fahrenheit. The room is stacked floor to ceiling with temperature-sensitive medications, like insulin and vaccines, and where that medication is packed into special cold shipping containers that keep temperature consistent until the insulin arrives at the health center, clinic or hospital able to store it and administer to patients.
