Drug shortages impact the safe and effective treatment of patients, placing a significant burden on the healthcare system. In addition, the recent pandemic-driven treatment needs have resulted in exponential demand, exposing the brittle nature of the current US supply chain.
Drug shortages can result from a number of different factors. Specifically, a brittle supply chain with dependencies on foreign manufacturing for supply; an antiquated batch process infrastructure with shortages driven by quality issues; and the generic drug industry trend towards single sourced suppliers driving price escalation without competitive response and no recourse for quality or supply chain issues.
