HEALTH SUPPLY CHAIN "LETS TALK"
Access to health services is a basic human right. It is an essential service and becomes even more critical during a humanitarian crisis.
Healthcare service providers, both public and private, depend on having efficient healthcare supply chain processes in place to deliver quality, uninterrupted services.
What are the challenges? These will vary from country to country and may also be context-specific.
Common issues such as stock-outs, expiry of drugs, losses, delays in delivery, interruptions in the supply pipeline, high costs, shortages, lack of human resources for the health supply chain, and many more.
We will discuss these in more detail in our upcoming podcasts.....
