Description
Recent events during the Covid-19 pandemic have demonstrated more clearly than ever how a failure to plan in the field of procurement and supply can lead to organization-wide failures. With end-users complaining of shortages of personal protective equipment (PPE) health authorities across the world have scrambled to obtain face masks and shields, gowns, gloves as well as ICU ventilators to meet the sudden, urgent demand. This training workshop will look at the management of healthcare procurement as a case study in procurement risk management and learn lessons from the failures and successes of various healthcare organizations in managing this aspect of the coronavirus crisis.
