At FutureLink Barcelona 2025, Healthcare Chain Institute Co-Founders Monika Derecque-Pois and Charles Gloor explained how a unified, data-driven approach can strengthen supply management, inventory control, and shortage prevention.
They described how HCI’s framework for efficiency, equity, evidence, effectiveness, and equilibrium helps stakeholders align on stockpiling strategies and visibility standards—building trust, resilience, and access to life-saving medicines for patients worldwide.
