Challenges In the Supply Chain for Rehabilitation Equipment and Supplies
Thamer Mohammad Mugheeb Fahad Dheefallah Almutairi Saud Majed Saud Alfahaid
Abstract:-
For people in need of physical therapy and rehabilitation to get quality healthcare services, the supply chain for rehabilitation materials and equipment is crucial. Nonetheless, it confronts a number of noteworthy obstacles that affect its effectiveness and use. Important concerns include accessibility and availability, especially in poor and rural regions where logistical difficulties and inadequate infrastructure worsen healthcare inequities. Because of the strict regulations, possible discrepancies in production processes, and risk of counterfeit goods, maintaining quality control and regulatory compliance is difficult. Effective patient treatment is further hampered by issues of cost and affordability, which restrict access to these specialized and sometimes costly items. Natural catastrophes, pandemics, and geopolitical unrest may all seriously disrupt the supply chain, leading to major delays and shortages. All parties involved—manufacturers, healthcare providers, and legislators—must work together to overcome these obstacles. In addition to pushing for advances in cost-effective manufacturing, strengthening supply chain resilience through diverse sourcing, strategic procurement, and real-time monitoring will help guarantee that patients everywhere have access to the rehabilitative materials and equipment they require.
