Preparedness & Resiliency
Distributor Role In Preparedness And Resilience
Recent events, including COVID-19, demonstrate the need for public and private stakeholders to continue to collaborate on efforts that would support, not supplant, each other. Neither the private sector nor public sector alone possess the full scope of capabilities, infrastructure, funding, nor expertise needed to adequately provide for pandemic preparedness and response in the United States.
Supply chain collaboration can highlight the complementary roles of the commercial supply chain and all levels of government:
- The private sector is scaled to make, source, and distribute medical products to our nation’s healthcare providers across the care continuum.
- Public partners can provide the planning, funding, and prioritization to create a cohesive response.
