How are Medical Supplies Managed During an Outbreak?
Effective management of medical supplies during an outbreak involves several steps:
Supply Chain Management: Ensuring an efficient and reliable supply chain to avoid shortages. Stockpiling: Maintaining a reserve of critical supplies that can be rapidly deployed. Distribution: Equitably distributing supplies to areas of greatest need, often guided by epidemiological data. Monitoring: Continuously monitoring usage and inventory levels to anticipate and address shortages.
