Digitalizing Health Care Supply Chains in Africa, Gebunden

Klappentext

This book focuses on the most recent advancements in the application of digital and innovative technologies for strengthening health supply chains in Africa. While substantial evidence shows how these digital technologies have helped increase health supply chain visibility, efficiency and performance in developed countries, little is known about the challenges and success to apply, adopt and implement in the African context. Therefore, this book brings together contributions from scholars and professionals to form a compendium of practices, challenges, success / failure factors, impact, and socio-cultural peculiarities associated with the adoption and implementation of new digital technologies in transforming health supply chains in various African countries. It helps readers gain insight into the role of technologies and innovations in health supply chain management, as well as for understanding successful and unsuccessful implementation cases in African countries, and how similar scenarios can be replicated or avoided.

The book offers a comprehensive guide for educators, researchers, management professionals, non-governmental organizations, and policymakers on how to effectively drive supply chain digital transformation in Africa's healthcare system.
