Nadro also provides training and specialized services to pharmacies to help manage their operations and inventories. Its mission is to bring good health to all of Mexico with high quality solutions for the benefit and wellbeing of everyone.

It needed to deliver the right healthcare products at the right time across the country. While competitors deliver once or twice per week, Nadro offers daily deliveries, equaling 360,000 deliveries each month.
