Medical Supply Chain

The medical supply chain is the process that ensures hospitals, clinics, and healthcare providers have the necessary medical supplies and equipment to care for patients. It involves multiple steps, including sourcing raw materials, manufacturing products, transporting them to distribution centers, and delivering them to healthcare facilities. Key players in this chain include manufacturers, distributors, and logistics companies. A well-functioning medical supply chain is essential for providing timely medical care, as it ensures that everything from bandages to advanced surgical equipment is available when needed, especially during emergencies or public health crises.
