Challenges in theHealthcare supply chain
• Medication errors result in additional treatments, disabilities and even loss of life
• Counterfeiting is an increasing global threat
• Traceability from manufacturer to patient is unworkable
• Product recalls can be difficult to manage, in particular for healthcare providers
• A lot of manual interventions in the healthcare supply chain decrease its efficiency and accuracy
