Drug distribution systems
Drug distribution systems refer to the organized process of delivering medications from manufacturers to patients. This involves multiple steps, including manufacturing, warehousing, transportation, and pharmacy dispensing. Distributors act as intermediaries, ensuring drugs are safely stored and efficiently supplied to healthcare providers, hospitals, and pharmacies. These systems maintain proper inventory, quality standards, and track medication movement to prevent shortages or errors. Overall, they are essential for ensuring that safe, effective medicines are available when and where they are needed, supporting high-quality healthcare delivery.
