Global Health Supply Chain
Sustainable improvements in global health are key to long term economic development.
Despite increased availability of financial resources and new health technologies, many
health indicators such as vaccination, infant mortality and life expectancy rates have shown only modest improvements around the world.
The lack of efficient supply chains for delivering health products and commodities is one of the reasons for the slow improvement in health outcomes. Such inefficiencies are especially pronounced in areas of the world such as sub Saharan Africa where the prevalence of communicable diseases is extremely high.
The faculty, researchers and doctoral students at the Zaragoza Logistics Center work with many international partners to address these challenges, creating new knowledge around supply chains for global health.
We strongly believe that the challenge of global health is significant but not insurmountable and that only evidence based policy research can help us to overcome it.
