Cold chain is the supply chain which deals with the management of temperature-sensitive products, such as vaccines. Cold chain is a delicate part of the health supply chain. If the quality of medicines is compromised during transport and storage through exposure to inappropriate conditions, patients and end users may suffer adverse consequences.

Cold storage refers to facilities or containers where medicines or health products are stored that are temperature-sensitive. Temperature range of cold storage normally is 2-8 °C. It is an important part of the cold chain. Cold storage contrasts with aircon storage where temperature stays under 23 °C or with ambient storage where products are stored at room temperature.

Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) refers to healthcare practices that are not part of a country's own tradition and are not integrated into the dominant healthcare system.
