The health care sector is one of the major sector of any country. In global prospective, the health care system is still undergoing development in poor countries. The goal of global health care is to provide efficient solution that will ensure that all processes are running smoothly. They failure of supply chain can make the full system disabled for certain amount of time. This issues are not really bounded to a community but also a major global issues. The poor countries are suffering most from it and thousands of people are dying each day because they don’t have access to at least minimum health care needs. The people living in rural part of the areas are still facing the problem of receiving right medical needs at right time. The supply chains aren’t efficient enough to cover all the parts yet.
The health care supply chains are playing the important part in order to help different organizations to reach the people in need. The primary aim for the health supply chain is get ready with products and deliver it in the correct time to the people in need. They also need to ensure that the product is supplied on the destinations in correct amount. The initial goal of the supply chain should be reaching the people at needs with lifesaving medicine that can help them to survive.
The US AID can be considered as one of the best example of a global supply chain that reached millions of people at need. It can be considered as one of the first provider who reach the people at the fastest speed and help them to fight with the situations. The main aim of the supply chain management will be incorporating a strategy that will enable to reach people at rapid speed at a cost effective and most efficient manner. The system introduced by USAID for the global health supply chain can be a better choice to achieve the objectives. (USAID.GOV).
The first step of global supply chain management will be discovering the most efficient way of managing and distributing all the health care related supplies to every corner of the world where people need it. It will be hard to achieve that goal as there is many elements involved. The medical supplies also need to reach the emerging market in a more efficient manner. The goal can be obtained by redesigning the work flow of the supply chain. They can redesign the way of managing the supplies as well as the transportation used to transport the supplies to the destinations (Chemonics). They need to come out with the most efficient transportation networks in order to take the global health care supply to the next level.
The volume of supplies will also play important role in order to maintain an efficient supply chain. It will be essential to build up a combination between high-low volume, low-high frequency shipment of supplies. The supply chains can also coordinate with different local and international agencies to make the process smoother. The business also needs to work by keeping the corporate social responsibilities in mind. They need to focus more on the welfare of the society by ensuring timely deliver of supplies to the peoples in need. The proper implementation of the above mentioned step can ensure that the health care supplies are reaching to its destinations faster and the people in needs are getting access to it more quickly.
