So far we are using maps of individual countries/regions from various sources. But keeping this updated for 193 countries and then getting the right map onto numerous GPS devices on time before departure is almost impossible. So I am trying to find an alternative solution. Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.

Be aware, that GPS Devices may have a limit for the size of maps. And be aware, that computing times (Zoom changes, adress search...) are larger for big maps.
So I have some concern, if a worldwide map of some detail will solve your problem.
If you have modern GPS devices which have Micro SD Cards, there the following procedure is feasable:
Divide the world in several parts of moderate size (Lower 3GB ?) and produce maps XXX.img for all this parts. The xxx must be different for all maps. (And if you want more than one map to be active at the same time, they must have different FID). Now look to your GPS devices and check which max micro SD card they can handle (I work on my Oregon 450 with a 16 GB SD card, larger cards i did not check). The map who is active must be stored in the Garmin folder of the SD card. The other maps should be stored in the root of the SD card. If the maps all are on the same SD card, some on the root, one ore some in the Garmin folder, the transfer between root and garmin folder runs very quick with Ctrl+X and Ctrl+V on a windows computer.
Another possibility is to use different micro SD cards and to change them during your flight to the destination. The whole Asia or the whole of Africa is smaller than 3 GB. For the whole of Europe I guess you may need 4-6 cards of 3 GB size.
