Global logistics company manages transportation of healthcare supplies to the
needy in partnership with non-profit organization
CHERRY HILL, N.J.--(Business Wire)--
New Jersey-based NFI, a global leader in the transportation and logistics
industry, has partnered with the non-profit organization MediSend International
in an on-going humanitarian effort aimed at closing the widening gap between the
availability of medical resources and the increasingly urgent healthcare needs
of residents of developing countries.

Throughout 2009, NFI has assisted MediSend by transporting biomedical provisions
and equipment from donor hospitals in the U.S. to the non-profit`s distribution
center in Dallas, Texas, where the items are readied for international shipment
to hospitals and clinics in the world`s poorest countries such as Equatorial
Guinea, Angola, Chad and Bangladesh.

An experienced leader in the hauling of healthcare materials and equipment, NFI
has frequently mobilized its fleet over the past 5 years to assist MediSend with
the movement of supplies to port. Freight has included electric beds, IV poles
and gurneys, as well as delicate technical devices including patient monitors
and infant patient warmers.

NFI has also provided crucial transportation services to expedite the movement
of emergency aid from MediSend to countries suffering the effects of natural
disasters, including the devastating 2005 earthquakes in Pakistan.

"NFI never hesitates to support MediSend`s mission. They play a key role in
MediSend`s multi-faceted program of transforming healthcare in under-served
hospitals," said Nick Hallack, President and CEO of MediSend International.

"It is a privilege to be able to utilize NFI`s expertise in the swift, efficient
transport of essential goods and services to support the efforts of MediSend,"
said Ike Brown, Vice Chairman of NFI and President of the company`s Intermodal
division. "When time is of the essence, NFI gets the job done, and, in this
case, plays a part in saving lives. It`s an honor to contribute our knowledge to
MediSend`s noble cause."
