Abstract

The healthcare supply chain is increasingly vulnerable to cybersecurity risks due to the integration of digital technology. The rise of digital records, telemedicine, and network connectivity has made it more susceptible to cyberattacks. The COVID-19 pandemic has further exacerbated this vulnerability, highlighting deficiencies in medical supplies, equipment, and services. The sector has implemented cybersecurity precautions, such as following HIPAA and GDPR, and collaborating with authorities and experts. However, the changing threat landscape necessitates continuous updates and changes. The study uses secondary data from the past three years to highlight the need for strong cybersecurity protocols to protect patient data, deliver services, and defend the supply chain from new threats. Future research should explore leveraging blockchain and AI-based cybersecurity, as well as strengthening government regulation, international cooperation, cybersecurity education, and patient empowerment.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic exposed the weaknesses in healthcare supply chains, leading to shortages, increased costs, and untrustworthy vendors. This has put patients at risk for treatment delays, worse care, and higher death rates. The healthcare supply chain's dependence on single sourcing has made these issues worse. Geopolitical conflicts, climatic catastrophes, data privacy issues, cybersecurity threats, and counterfeit goods are emerging risks. Resilient solutions are needed due to the complex ecosystem of manufacturers, wholesalers, regulatory organizations, and healthcare providers. Supply Chain Resilience (SCRES) is crucial for uninterrupted healthcare services, with redundancy, visibility, and adaptability being key components. Future research directions include blockchain integration, data analytics, and regulatory frameworks to improve resilience. Successful mitigation solutions require understanding interdependence, resilience measurements, and behavioral elements. Addressing these vulnerabilities is crucial for patient safety and healthcare effectiveness.
