With many different stakeholders, regulations and specific handling requirements, medical supply chains are dynamic and complex systems that face a myriad of challenges. In case of a pandemic such as COVID-19 further complexities and challenges are likely to occur.

Special focus will be put on the current response to COVID-19 making sure that the right product and service reaches the patients at the right time, at the right condition and at the right price.
