Pharmaceutical and medical distributions are crucial pillars of our healthcare system, yet they encounter various hurdles, from managing delicate medications to navigating intricate regulations.
Challenges Pharmaceutical Distribution
Here are several obstacles faced in pharmaceutical distribution, as outlined by Parkour SC:
- Inventory Balancing: Striking a balance in stock levels to meet demand without overstocking or understocking.
- Temperature and Fragility: Ensuring proper handling of sensitive medical goods to prevent spoilage or damage.
- Fast Turnaround: Meeting urgent demands swiftly while managing complex supply chains.
- Overseas Sourcing Risks: Dependency on foreign production, especially during disruptions, poses distribution vulnerabilities.
- Compliance Complexity: Navigating stringent regulations and evolving standards to ensure safety and quality.
- OTIF Requirements: Meeting delivery standards for items, quantities, location, and timing to maintain customer satisfaction and avoid costly replacements.
In addition, bribery and corruption pose significant threats to pharmaceutical companies. Bribery can result in unfair competitive advantages and allowing substandard products to enter the market. Whereas corruption can distort regulatory oversight, compromising the safety and efficacy of medications distributed to healthcare providers and patients.ย
