In October 2007, DHL entered into an agreement with Renapred (Red Nacional para la prevención de la discapacidad, the National Network for Disabilities Prevention), an organization whose goal is to reduce the logistical complexity of recollecting and transporting samples used in Neonatal Screening. Currently, and as part of this agreement, DHL Express has transported over 700 thousand samples a year at over 250 collection sites equal to 70% of hospitals and health centers that make up the network belonging to the Ministry of Health on a national level. Last year alone, there was a 90% reduction in delivery times which yielded 680 timely detections in newborns.
