Practice and challenges of humanitarian logistics management within the Ethiopian public pharmaceutical supply chain

The study highlights significant inefficiencies in the humanitarian logistics system, particularly in procurement and transportation management. These inefficiencies disrupt humanitarian operations, leading to delays in the delivery of pharmaceuticals to beneficiaries. Inadequate logistics can result in loss of life, increased suffering, and unnecessary costs. This research contributes to understanding the gaps in HLM practices in Ethiopia and provides recommendations for improving logistics efficiency in public health emergencies.
