What’s behind the ongoing drug shortage crisis affecting communities across America? A new article from The Wall Street Journal breaks it down, featuring insights from the US Pharmacopeia Medicine Supply Map.

At the Milken Institute’s Future of Health Summit, experts emphasized the critical link between drug shortages, the supply chain, and national security. Rep. Debbie Dingell highlighted the vulnerability revealed by the pandemic and stressed the need to treat healthcare as a national security issue. The call to action is clear: a resilient and self-sufficient healthcare system is crucial for safeguarding the nation's health in times of crisis. https://loom.ly/2EQGMU8 #Coolsmart #MedicalLogistics #Healthcare #CourierServices #Medical #SupplyChain #MedicalLogisticsSolutions #ClinicalLaboratories #MedicalSupplyChain #Hospitals #Pharmaceuticals #NationalSecurity #HealthcareResilience #DrugShortages #HealthSecurity

Basic and life-saving products are in short supply. In fact, a recent study published at the end of Q1 of this year shows there are 323 active drug shortages – the previous all-time high was 320 shortages in 2014. We need to keep pressure on policymakers to implement meaningful changes that address the problem. Join us in our mission to end drug shortages through focus on transparency, quality, redundancy and production of additional supply to achieve measured and sustainable results for all patients.
