Healthcare Supply Chain

Healthcare Ready understands that the complexity of the healthcare supply chain is amplified during emergencies. We work with the private sector (manufacturers, distributors and wholesalers) to identify ways to strengthen the supply chain. We also convey the importance of the supply chain and key considerations to avoid delays in deliveries to the public sector.

For a look at how the healthcare supply chain adjusts during public health events, man-made hazards, and natural hazards, check out our Disaster Healthcare Supply Chain Fact Sheet. This fact sheet provides an overview of the emergency planning and response considerations for all hazards.

Heroes of the Supply Chain

Heroes of the Supply Chain highlights the organizations, partnerships and leaders in the supply chain who play an integral role in meeting the most pressing patient needs across the country through stories and resources.

Global Supply Chains

In a globalzing, increasingly interdependent world, Healthcare Ready considers the ways that supply chains differ, especially across countries (or even at the local level). Most notably, we completed an analysis of efforts to improve and navigate potential bottlenecks in the global supply chain across several countries.
