Hear life science industry practitioners share how they’re leveraging supply chain best practices and resources to secure access to life-saving cancer immunotherapies for patients.
Approximately 86-90%1 of professionals confirmed in 2023 the daily challenges associated with ongoing drug shortages which continue to impact the ability to provide safe, high-quality patient care. The numbers speak volumes within the global life sciences supply chain in terms of today’s scenarios of drug rationing, alternative medication provisions and even delayed patient treatment. Data from the Biden-Harris Administration2 cites a U.S. shortage of 15 cancer drugs due to manufacturing quality issues and supply chain disruptions.
In this episode, hear Antonio Menendez-Rodriguez and Anderson Ip discuss how they’re navigating the current life sciences supply chain landscape of drug shortages amidst ongoing Russia-Ukraine and Hamas-Israel wars and geopolitical tensions, supply gaps, and import/export restrictions.
