The Role of Technology in Strengthing the Medical Supply Chain
The impact of the supply chain on medications: Vaccine production and distribution and vaccination of frontline workers are increasing globally, resulting in shortages of other essential medications. Early in May, the FDA added 11 new generic medications to its shortage list. The final destination of a drug is often unknown once it leaves the manufacturer. From the distributor to the hospital and, ultimately, the patient, it is difficult to track and trace the drug\'s journey within the current system. As the covid-19 vaccine rollout continues and government officials announce new plans for the next phase of the nation\'s response to Covid-19, there are many heartening signs of progress.
