Title
Opening Up New Supply Chains
Subject
Description
The Covid-19 pandemic has forced health care providers to dramatically increase their use of swabs, protective gear, ventilators, and other medical devices. This rapid increase in demand, coupled with the destabilizing effect of the crisis on society and the global economy, has disrupted normal sources of supply and led to critical shortages.
