The Healthcare supply chain can be defined as the procurement and distribution of products and services to serve patients. Management of relationships with suppliers and customers to offer superior customer satisfaction cost-effectively is the purpose of a supply chain. Supply chain management is a fragmented process; it includes obtaining resources, managing supplies, and delivering goods and services to patients and healthcare providers.
A supply chain usually begins with a manufacturer that produces the medical products and sends them to a distribution center. Healthcare organizations or hospitals can directly buy the products from the distributor or manufacturer. Further, the products are transferred to the organization and stocked into an inventory.
