Consistency is the king in your health system's supply chain.
Consistency is important for any business to grow. It is very easy to reach to the top; however, it is difficult to remain there for a long time. When pharma companies consistently deliver their medicines on time, and their medicine quality is high, customers become loyal to them.

business. Being able to deliver consistently is a key to a successful
business venture. And also, with high-quality medicines, the pharma companies
can gain their customer's respect.

credibility of a pharma company.

pharmaceutical industry as faulty medicines can kill a patient and in turn
their kins can sue the company, which ruin the good name of the company. Not
only this, but any roadblock in supply cycle can wreak havoc on the life of a
patient who may need a medicine immediately. Patients may die if they are
supplied with right medicine on time. Not only doctors and nurses but also the
manufacturing and transport people are responsible for the safety of the
patients.

the health system first. It consists of hospitals, factories, transport
vehicles, pharmacies and most important, efficient human resource. If the

supply chain. The pharmaceutical companies, research centres, government, and
regulatory body, all together make up the health system. The medical suppliers,
transport people and maintenance staff make up the health system supply chain.
