NEW YORK, Oct. 15, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Dealmed is troubled by the recent news that certain operators in the medical supply industry are illegally utilizing forced labor for the production of their products and subsequently vending them to many United States based suppliers.
While no Dealmed branded product was affected, the news is still worrisome. This disturbing revelation rattled the staff here at Dealmed, and we strongly condemn these abhorrent actions and practices. Whether these methods are being employed by dozens of companies or just one, these practices cannot stand, and any business that utilizes these methods will never supply medical products under the Dealmed brand name.
It is common industry practice for American medical supply companies to partner with foreign entities to establish efficient, quality supply chains that work to keep consumer costs low. Unfortunately, due to lack of overseas regulation and oversight, it falls to the American supplier to ensure that the products they purchase meet safety, quality and ethical guidelines. It appears that many in the medical supply industry have failed their duty to ensure proper standards.
That is why now, more than ever, Dealmed is proud to reaffirm our diligent practice of verifying our supply chain. We thoroughly vet every foreign and domestic company with whom we partner. No Dealmed product has ever, nor ever will exist as a result of illegal and unethical labor practices, and that is a guarantee.
For years, Dealmed's mission has been to deliver the highest quality medical supplies to healthcare facilities at affordable prices, faster than ever before. We will continue this practice, supporting our customers while constantly maintaining and reaffirming our commitment towards fair labor practices. We will immediately begin implementing a more thorough verification process in which we continually make checks to our supply chain to ensure the standards originally verified are being maintained and upheld.
