2. Bringing together the region’s leading healthcare regulators, providers, operators, distributors and
manufacturers to create a cohesive, strategic supply network
As the demand for healthcare services keeps growing and new developments are launched in the
region, the capabilities of supply chain are pushed to the limit and SCM practitioners are expected
to be cost-efficient while ensuring high quality care. Healthcare supply chain functions
must be resilient and flexible to accommodate the growing market, government
regulations and demands from internal and external stakeholders.
Healthcare Supply Chain Strategies promotes the transformative process of supply chain by offering
lessons on how to implement robust SCM practices, integrate innovative systems, curb rising costs
and ultimately improve patient outcomes.
