Reconfiguring the Covid-19 Supply Chain Response in South Asian and southeast Asian countries for 2021
20th - January - 2021
Procurement and supply chain management (PSM) lays the foundation for well-functioning health systems. Countries should evaluate their public health supply chain performance. Currently, supply chains sacrifice resilience for perceived lower procurement costs. Boosting both efficiency and resilience at each point on the curve is important. Any pandemic or significant health challenge puts a strain on supply chains and proper PSM epidemic planning works to ensure an efficient response.
