Abstract :

Logistic management is essential for ensuring effective healthcare delivery, encompassing the systematic planning, implementation, and control of the flow and storage of resources like drugs and vaccines. Efficient management helps prevent losses from overstock, expiration, or shortages. Key components include estimating requirements, indenting, inventory control, and proper vaccine handling. Techniques like ABC and VED analyses optimize resource allocation based on cost and criticality. Systems like eVIN enhance vaccine stock management by providing real-time data. Maintaining the right balance of stock levels, implementing FIFO and EEFO practices, and applying supply chain principles ensure smooth, efficient operations across healthcare facilities.
