Global Health Supply Chain Resiliency:
Preparedness, Response, and Recovery
Sub-topics: Supply Chain Design, Technology, Human Resources, Partnerships, and Governance
This year the summit will focus on Global Health Supply Chain Resiliency – Preparedness, Response, and Recovery. COVID-19 has brought to light the fragility of global supply chains and challenges health systems have faced to address the new health needs arising from COVID-19 while continuing to address traditional health care needs. Clearly, resiliency of supply chains and health systems is essential. Exploring the elements of resilient health supply chains will be the focus of GHSCS 2020. Resiliency can be achieved through supply chain design, appropriate use of technology, leveraging partnerships and establishing proper governance systems but all these depend on a deep understanding of the challenges faced by the workforce who will be called upon to execute on the resilience strategy and fill in the inevitable gaps. GHSCS 2020 will explore these issues through a combination of keynotes & plenary speakers, panel discussions, and contributed talks. Like in the past, the conference will assemble a collection of experts in and from the field – academics, country planners, NGOs, logistics practitioners, industry and donor representatives to explore these topics. The committee is particularly interested in capturing the voices from the field to learn and share experiences related to managing supply chains for and during COVID-19.
